THE FRENCH HOUSE

Don Wallace

A Family, A Ruined Maison and the Village That Restored Them All

THE FRENCH HOUSE will appeal to fans of Frances Mayes's UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN.

When Francophiles Don and Mindy Wallace were given the chance to buy a house on a tiny French island, they jumped at it, buying the house almost sight unseen. What they found when they arrived was a building in ruin, and it wasn't long before their lives resembled it. Plagued by emergency repairs, a dwindling bank account and very exasperated French neighbors, the Wallaces could have accepted their fate. Instead, they embraced it.

THE FRENCH HOUSE is the delightfully amusing and picturesque memoir about a family who seized life, rose from the rubble and built themselves a home away from home.

a brave, insightful and very amusing memoir, - Jane Smiley

On a tiny French island, a couple of American dreamers redefine their lives by restoring a ruin-which in this lovely, shimmering story becomes a parable of a saner, greener, more sustainable path that we all can follow if we will but listen to the wisdom of the villagers the way the Wallaces did. The French House moves to a soulful, very funny rhythm all ist own. -- Meryl Streep
