Synopsis

Basil Ackroyd, mayor of a comfortable little town in the French Midi, leads a pleasant life profiting from his position of influence among the malleable citizens many of whom are ex-pat Brits. There are those outside his domain who resent this privileged position he is able to hold by the chance of his mixed parentage. However he has learned his craft in the grubby underbelly of British local politics and is able to carry the battle to his Gallic adversaries. This morning unfolds into one of those days of destiny for our hero.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Douglas Wallis has lived for a very long time in rural France and has observed the uneasy interaction of the French and their, oft resented immigrants, the British. Having a French wife has enabled him to study the differences between their cultures and to realise that in one respect, that of humour, they will never be able to understand each other. Whilst trying to avoid the well worn clichés that characterise many Brits living in France stories, he hopes to gently portray the differences in their approach to living and understanding of the other, which is much more profound than most of his countrymen ever realise.
