A warm, and witty story, beautifully written. I spent the nearly the entire time reading this book falling about laughing and wishing I had this man's gift for story telling, and as a result, bought everything George has written. George gives life and depth to the characters he encounters in Normandy, and involves you in their triumphs and tragedies so that they become as real to you as your friends. His dealings with the wily fox of the Cotentin, alias Rene, are very well written and funny, and occasionally, just occasionally, will bring a lump to your throat.

French letters Another hilarious book from George, as usual I laughed and chuckled the whole way through, George, Donella his wife, the animals and the chaps from the Jolly Boys Club,indeed every one involved with the story, by the time you get to the last page, you feel you have known them for ever. Can't wait for the next one.

If you are going to France don't forget your French Letters!, If you are thinking of buying property, or renovating property in France then the series of books George East has written are a must! His latest offering "French Letters" is expertly written, George and his wife Donella and a host of friends and wild life will put you in rural France. Extremely funny stories of French life which would never have seen the light of day had it not been for this intrepid writer. George has the ability in his writing of placing you in a small French community which are not keen on foreign settlers. This is the story of George and his wife adapting to the French rules which in many cases are make up as they go along, and being accepted by the locals which cost more than just a few drinks! An excellent read which I can highly recommend, roll on the next book Mr East..
