Review Author: Sleekpony

Mark Twain said “Truth is stranger than fiction… because fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn’t.” This is certainly the case with Beth and husband Mike’s hunt for their dream home, a country estate in France.

You couldn’t make up the strange events or the eccentric cast of characters that populate the property hunt, all of whom are portrayed beautifully by the author of this memoir. The descriptions made me laugh out loud, although I did fall ever so slightly in love with Will, one of the dapper but colourful estate agents.

I found the book hard to put down – it was fast-paced, funny and full of interesting facts.
