Synopsis
He's back - and this time its really serious!
Failed rock legend, pickled onion manufacturer, air hostess and euro-entrepreneur George East takes us through another eventful year of his doomed attempts to make a living out of living in rural France.
Fleeing from the Mill of the Flea with creditors in hot pursuit, our hero and his long-suffering wife arrive at a rambling manor-house on the vast and brooding stretches of the Normandy marshlands. The cunning plan is to set up a fox sanctuary, chicken farm and arts & crafts commune for the creatively challenged, but the Easts new home soon reveals its grim secrets.
A lifeline is offered by a stranger with a scheme to bring the delights of the Great British Pub to homesick expatriates. The George Inn (Sometimes) will be the first of a chain of hugely successful anglo-pubs stretching from Normandy to Nice and beyond. At least, that's the idea.
As the clock ticks towards opening time and final financial meltdown for the ultimate innocent abroad, we encounter another host of improbable - and frankly sometimes unbelievable - characters and situations. The amazing thing is that any of it is true.
Will George find fame, fortune and contentment, or has this modern Micawber taken his final drink in the Last Chance Saloon?

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. French Lessons serves up another hilarious slice of life as it is lived in rural France - but only by the disaster-prone author and his long-suffering wife. The seventh book in the immensely popular series about a British couple scraping a living in Normandy, French Lessons is another hugely entertaining account of innocents and innocence abroad. Having been forced to flee from their beloved Mill of the Flea, George and Donella find themselves in a rambling and decrepit chateau set in a vast swathe of marshlands in an isolated part of Normandy. How will they survive in their new home with no money and a menagerie of animals and the author's perennial naivete? Simple, says our hero. The Easts' will set up a multi - activity holiday centre, with hikers, cyclists and other energetic leisure seekers mingling with sculptors, writer and artists in happy harmony. Or anyway, that is Plan 'A'. And so the scene is set for another memorable episode in the best-selling series about two ordinary people who - thanks to the author- continually find themselves in very extra-ordinary circumstances. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. N° de réf. du vendeur GOR002238508
