Synopsis

*****There are a handful of authors who will achieve that elusive trick of making you laugh out loud. For me it's James Herriot, Bill Bryson & Susie Kelly.' FrenchEntrée Magazine

*****'Real rural France, not the 'glass of wine on the terrace' stuff that is so misleading.' Goodreads

WOW! what an adventure... and how brave the author was to live in a derelict house practically on her own with lots of animals. Goodreads

Susie and Terry dream of living in France. The dream comes true, but not in the way they had imagined. Sometimes it feels more like taking part in a musical comedy than starting a new life in France...

Yes, the countryside is spacious and peaceful.

On summer nights the stars skim the rooftops, the owls hoot and the nightingales sing.

Sunflowers smile from their fields. The wine is cheap and the baguettes are crusty. The French neighbours are generous and gentle...

But then come the drug addicts, builders who cannot build, demanding compatriots, undercover cops and unwelcome guests. Susie begins to lose hope of attracting the fabled French philanderer and, far from appreciating their new home, the animals do everything they can to make life as difficult as possible.

With her house literally crumbling around her, the number of odd characters Susie manages to attract are only matched by the assortment of creatures appearing from in and out of the woodwork. Terry almost dies, and Susie's resilience and good humour are tested to the limit.

Another delightful, very funny, memoir from the bestselling, much-loved, travel author Susie Kelly.

First Kindle edition of Two Steps Backwards, originally published by Bantam/Transworld as a UK paperback. Launching worldwide, this edition is updated and contains new material - including, for the first time, photographs.'

À propos de l'auteur

Born a Londoner, Susie Kelly spent most of the first 25 years of her life in Kenya. She now lives in south-west France with her husband and assorted animals. She believes that her explosive temper is a legacy from her Irish-American grandfather, but has no idea who to blame for her incompetence as a housewife. Still, she's very kind to animals, small children and elderly people. Susie particularly enjoys exploring the road less travelled, discovering the lives and events of lesser-known places.Prior to publishing with Blackbird, Susie was with Transworld who sold over 50,000 of her titles in the UK. Some of those are rights-reverted and are now available to readers worldwide for the first time.
