Totally immersed into a different culture, with completely alien work practices, it's also a story of survival against many odds. In 'the merde' from day one, it has its hilarious moments amongst the seriousness and kindness of les Français, not least her survivors from the Second World War. With clipboard and camera, first hand tales from Members of la Résistance, and a little bit of early British history thrown in for good measure, this is a book of many parts. A country's habits die hard, and fitting in doesn't always come easily, but arrival is splendid when it finally happens. Selling clients add daily frustration.

One of them remains in France to this day and here's how it all happened ...
