George East is by far one of the funniest story tellers and raconteurs on the planet today and the third book in the best-selling MILL OF THE FLEA series, continuing the often farcical and always entertaining adventures of the author and his wife as they attempt to make a new life in rural France. Totally unlike any other book in the genre, FRENCH LETTERS takes the reader on another visit to a remote area of Normandy where time is of little value and reluctant tractors (and their drivers) are kick-started on frosty mornings with a tot of moonshine apple brandy. During another eventful year at the Mill of the Flea, the author and his wife once again encounter a host of improbable characters and situations, like the vegetarian couple who set up home next to a veal farm and an elderly post-mistress who grows highly illegal pot plants while enticing a colony of hornets to set up home in her attic…Reviews George’s tremendous love of life shows in all the couple’s exploits, as does Donella’s affection for George and her animals (shared fifty-fifty one surmises). There’s a lot of wisdom in this book, or a lot of sound sense if you prefer it. I just wish he could write them a bit quicker. –R.Roller.JCBJust read ‘French Letters’, what fun. George East’s first book, ‘Home and Dry in France’ was my first encounter with this hilarious author. His second book, ‘Rene and Me’ confirmed his genius and I didn’t think he could pull off a hat trick – but he has. ‘French Letters’ is so funny, from a bingo game in Nehou to the Tour de France, all the familiar characters are there, you must meet the Miserables, what a scream, I laughed all the way through. Encore s’il vous plait –J.Bean NY Whistler
