Mark Greenside returns with another delightful instalment of his adventures as an accidental homeowner in Brittany. Still struggling with the language, still baffled by French bureaucracy, and still hopelessly out of his depth, he chronicles the hilarious mishaps and unexpected joys of trying to fit into village life whilst remaining resolutely American.

From battling incomprehensible utility bills to navigating the minefield of French social etiquette, Greenside's warmth and self-deprecating humour shine through every page. His affectionate observations of French culture—and his own spectacular failures at assimilation—offer both laugh-out-loud moments and genuine insight into what it means to call two countries home. A charming and honest account that will resonate with anyone who's ever felt like a fish out of water abroad.
