Michele Guinness and her husband always believed they would live in France one day - but were amazed, all the same, when a series of minor miracles made it possible to buy a house in the Limousin. Dreams, however, don't simply come true. Setting up a new home, living in a different culture, and adapting to rural life was more stressful than she could have imagined.

In this frank and funny account of their ups and downs, based on Michele's diary of her husband's three-month sabbatical, we meet a host of extraordinary characters as she pursues the truth the truth behind some of the hamlet's tortuous relationships, and meets the beleaguered French church.

Michele Guinness has worked as a presenter, researcher and writer for national TV and radio, and speaks at events all over the country, including Spring Harvest, New Wine, Greenbelt and Detling. Her books include Child of the Covenant, Chosen and the Heavenly Party.

    The Good Book Stall

    Average rating of0.0

    I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Michelle Guinness and her husband Peter spent his three month sabbatical living in the home they purchased in France – the culmination of a long held dream. Intending to retire there eventually, they plan for the future but are very soon embroiled in local animosities and a tangled web of property boundary disputes. Michelle tells these stories with humour and affection but her descriptions of French bureaucracy would make you weep if you did not laugh! Local characters people this entertaining account but Peter and Michelle are themselves the central characters. Now I want to hear more!
