Produktbeschreibung
Another Glass and Half of France, More Wine-Soaked Tales from the Picardy Triangle. Step into a world where the wine flows as freely as the stories, and the chaos of rural France takes centre stage in this riotous second instalment of Wine-Soaked Tales from the Picardy Triangle. With a sharp wit and an eye for the absurd, Max plunges us headfirst into the unpredictable lives of the region's most colourful residents. From the debaucherous revelry of the Fête de Guillaume, marking the conquest of England, to peculiar pastimes like bird-watching and wife-swapping, no corner of this eccentric enclave is left unexplored. Meet Birthday, the epileptic dog, rub shoulders with a lascivious estate agent, and navigate the tangled antics of mischievous neighbours-each story more outrageous than the last. Whether it's the Tour de France speeding through town or an encounter with a most unexpected Owl and a Pussy-cat, Max's tales weave a tapestry of charm, madness, and unfiltered hilarity. Wry, unapologetic, and brimming with the spirit of France (and its finest vintages), this collection invites you to turn on, tune in, and drop out into a world where life is always a little unhinged-but never, ever dull. Raise a glass, embrace the mayhem, and enjoy the ride. Santé!
Autorenporträt
Julian Maxwell Paige is the author of A Glass and a Half of France and its follow-up, Another Glass and a Half of France. After several years living in France, he has wholeheartedly embraced French life: he lives among the locals, navigates the language with determination (and the occasional shrug), and has fully adopted the national pastime of drinking wine-frequently more than a glass and a half. What began as a property search turned into an accidental immersion in rural French life, complete with bureaucratic battles, crumbling stonework, and a deep appreciation for long lunches. He writes with affection, honesty, and just enough exasperation to keep things interesting.
