A charming and hilarious account of an Englishman's attempt to create a new life in rural France, this memoir captures the chaos, joy, and occasional madness of pursuing an impossible dream. When Michael Wright swaps his comfortable existence for a dilapidated farmhouse in the Limousin countryside, he discovers that la vie française is rather more challenging than the glossy magazines suggest.

From battling with recalcitrant chickens and learning to communicate with bemused locals, to navigating the Byzantine complexities of French bureaucracy, Wright's self-deprecating humour transforms everyday disasters into comedy gold. His honest, warm observations about rural French life—and his own spectacular ineptitude—make this an irresistible read for anyone who's ever dreamt of escaping to sunnier climes, or simply enjoys a cracking tale of cultural misadventure.
