TimF: Hillaire…..eous!! Thanks Nick, lovely dedication to Nick, Nick!! Yep, the book arrived… I opened… it… I saw……… that it was many chapters….. [the sort of book I like because of my ADHD attention span]…. so could pick it up and read a couple of chapters…. er…. Well, not exactly…. it is a romp!! And a romp moves…. I picked it up to read at breakfast coffee on Sunday… and, apart from further cups of coffee…. cups of tea…… and finally….. verres du bieres….. and a bit of light exercise getting liquids and making room for same….I finished the book in one sitting…. ONE SITTING!! I haven’t read like that for years…. the only things that come near are Discworld books! Thank you!!!
JanN (32): Oh Nick, I started your book last night and I couldn’t stop laughing!!! It’s brilliant.
WilliamG (Dublin): For anyone who has visited France or lived there, especially the South-West, this hysterical, fast-paced page-turner is a must-read.
DamienE (Oxford): A brilliant read – highly recommended.
BernardG (Paris): Having lived with Angie Deirdre Justin and all during last month, I must say I have discovered a new facet of life in the Pyrenees especially in the Fritte/Trie region where it seems there is definitely no limit to fun, quacks, quickies and the like. I was embarked in a roller coaster of laugh, especially at the beginning (the mise en place of the characters is really good). I can easily see that this book encapsulates a life of various experiences in B and B management, experiences with customers, music gigs and tattooed ladies. And a strikingly awful mayor.
Any resemblance with existing characters and experiences is obviously voluntary and not coincidental…The only thing which comes to my mind after closing the book is “What a life…and that is only a week accounted for”.
Who knows the writer??? I definitely must speak to him!!! And meet the Sauerkraut band!
Merci pour ces moments
