In her mid-thirties, the author had it all: a successful career as a fashion editor, a handsome boyfriend, fab flat in west London and a gorgeous array of shoes. But when her boyfriend leaves, she hangs up her Manolos and waves goodbye to her glamorous city lifestyle to go it alone in a run-down house in rural Poitou-Charentes, in central western France. Acquiring a host of new friends and unsuitable suitors, she learns that true happiness can be found in the simplest of things – a bike ride through the countryside on a summer evening, or a kir or three in a neighbour's courtyard.

Perfect summer reading for anyone who dreams of chucking away their Blackberry in favour of real blackberrying and downshifting to France.
