Description

If you visit France, or live there, or simply like to laugh, this collection of tales from determined francophile Barry Cornell will keep you in stitches. 'Make Mine a Kilowatt' recounts the delights and disappointments, pleasures and pitfalls, surprises and shocks that await the unsuspecting Anglo Saxon who chooses to make his home across the Channel. It covers topics as various as the French passion for eating the inedible, their often bizarre social customs, and of course their attitudes to the British. This is French life up close and personal, told in a series of hilarious episodes which mirror the author's experiences in trying to settle and survive, and integrate into his local community, in south-west France.
