The Misadventures of Mistress Soul

The Misadventures of Mistress Soul

by Jan Hartley

Price range: £5.99 through £7.99

Paperback:

CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE

Part love letter to Languedoc, part travelogue, part coming-of-a-certain-age memoir, this feel good story invites us to join seventy-eight year-old Jan Hartley as she tries life in southern France. Jan writes with wicked dead-pan humour about her faux-pas and her homesickness, and reflects movingly on the delights of the place she adopts as her home. Jan’s inner journey – brave, hilarious and life-affirming – runs in parallel to her travels through southern France.

Will Jan & Co decide to stay here, or will they return home?

With illustrations by Ginny Fraser.
