C'est la Folie - Michael Wright

Inspired by the success of his much-loved Daily Telegraph column about La Folie, C'est La Folie is his winningly honest account of his struggle to fulfil a childhood dream and become a Real Man; to make the journey from chattering townie to rugged, solitary paysan. In chronicling his attempts at tending animals, befriending locals, finding a dishy copine and coming to terms with living Abroad Alone, the author gradually discovers what it takes to be a man at the beginning of the twenty-first century, especially if on is short-sighted, flat-footed and not much good at games. Life-affirming and laugh-out-loud funny, Michael Wright's tale of a new-found life in France with a cat, a piano and an aeroplane is as much an elegy for a world that's fast disappearing as a hymn to the simple pleasure of being alive.
