L'Amour Actually

Product Description

The woman was one of those irritating expat types who felt she owed it to the world to impart on her all her superior knowledge of life in France. I realised that if I didn't stop her now she'd be bending my ear all the way to Bergerac. ' Actually ' I said leaning in toward the woman 'I'm planning to integrate my way into the boxers of the first good-looking Frenchman I see. Can't think of any better way to learn the language myself. You wouldn't happen to know the French for fancy a shag?" would you? Voulez-vous coucher avec moi just seems a bit nineteen-seventies these days.' After one particularly bad day at work advertising executive & confirmed city girl Melanie Jones decides to give up her old life in search of something new & simpler in South West France. With little knowledge of the country even less of the language & just the memory of a disastrous school French exchange & a few day trips to Calais she embarks on her adventure with a suitcase full of optimism & not a little bit of naivety. After all how different can life in France be? After a series of adventures with skirt-ripping tractors handsome twin farmers celebrity not-quite-beens unusual toilets & a bonkers ex-pat community all topped up of course with lashings of rose Melanie begins to discover that her new life in France isn't quite what she'd thought it would be."
