It’s not all paradise at La Folie, Michael Wright’s new home in France and that’s why I so enjoyed his first book, C’est la Folie. Almost alarmed at his own daring in giving up everything for a home in France, Michael Wright chronicles his ups and many downs in his new home. I was therefore ready to catch up with the what happened next in Je T’Aime à la Folie - and now it is love that is the new passion – that and getting to fly a Spitfire.
Both cherished dreams are pursued with intensity and I’ll leave you to discover this gem of a French memoir and to see if dreams do come true.

C’est La Folie, Michael Wright
Extra Virgin: Among the Olive Groves of Liguria, Annie Hawes
Having spent three years alone in France, doing his best to survive in a foreign land, and failing miserably to woo a dishy French copine, Michael Wright feels he's perhaps reached a near Zen-like state of contentment. He has everything he ever wanted - his new life as a paysanne, his cat, the chickens and the sheep, his French neighbours and friends, his piano, his aeroplane - perhaps he should call un arrete to his occasionaly over-eager search for a woman to complete his life.
