«Wonderful. Exquisitely written, it is by turns laugh-out-loud funny then suddenly, unexpectedly and profoundly moving, wistful and touching: a homage to a place, to magical moments in time. An utter joy and a treat to read from the first to last pages»
James Holland, author of Brothers in Arms
«An unashamed love letter to France from someone who deeply admires the country»
UK Time News
«This love affair between an English family and a very old French house is by turns turbulent, lyrical and tragic. With often embattled enthusiasm Dolby describes the process of making 1 Place de l'Eglise part of the family. Enriched by an insatiable, ever-eager curiosity, he takes us down many a side alley, adding another dimension to the timeless story of what it is that makes France irresistible.»
Michael Palin
«Elegant, captivating, and sprinkled with self-deprecating humour. Dolby is a writer of abundant talent.»
Peter Kerr, author of Snowball Oranges
«He writes with genuine emotion . . . He writes beautifully about life in a French village. The most enjoyable parts of this book are his descriptions of the French countryside»
