Jan Hartley crossed the channel to live in France at the age of 78. Her popular blog which detailed her adventures and mishaps over the first year is the basis for this memoir. She lives in Languedoc – but will she stay there?
Founded in 2005, Linen Press is the only UK-wide feminist independent publisher. At a time when female autonomy and rights are under threat, our books are important for the recognition and empowerment of the female experience. We rejoice in the strength and originality of female and non-binary creative voices and champion those who are underrepresented and marginalised. The collective background of our writers is a patchwork of cultures, countries, ages and writing styles as we share stories that speak to women across barriers and boundaries.
