A Botcher in France
A Botcher in France  
Idly leafing through the Sunday supplements, Trevor Danby spotted an advertisement for what seemed like implausibly cheap properties in the Charente region of France. Intrigued, but without any intention to buy, he contacted the agents and set off to investigate the possibilities. One particular 'residence' offered a superfluity of wardrobes, a dripping cellar occupied by enormous spiders, and a roof in danger of collapse. Against all reason, and ignoring his wife's suppressed hysteria, he decided to buy it.

In many respects the Danbys were trailblazers in this yet to be discovered part of France. Getting to grips with the French way of doing things was made smoother by the author's sense of humour and a growing warm respect for the locals.

A Botcher in France is a funny and sometimes moving record of Trevor and Karal's on-going test of endurance and their encounters with all things Charentais. This charming book will amuse and delight.
now spend five months of the year there in between writing commitments.
