Synopsis

A witty, funny, riproaringly good read about bloody English women living the dream in the South of France: underpaid, undersexed, and over there. When Alice's husband dumps her for a pretty nurse, she's left homeless, heartbroken, the wrong side of forty and with no life skills to speak of. She goes on holiday and discovers Vielleville, a little town on the Cote d'Azur. Alice finds herself buying a studio flat in the Maison Puce, but she hasn't banked on several things. French bureaucracy. The expense. And her dream of being a lone Brit in a French town is scuppered when she discovers who the other residents of the Maison Puce are ...
