If you visit France, or live there, or simply like to laugh, this collection of tales from determined francophile Barry Cornell will keep you in stitches. Make Mine a Kilowatt recounts the delights and disappointments, pleasures and pitfalls, surprises and shocks that await the unsuspecting Anglo Saxon who chooses to make his home across the Channel. It stumbles into topics as various as the French passion for eating the inedible, their often bizarre social customs, their sense of humour and of course their attitudes to the British. This is French life up close and personal, told in a series of hilarious episodes and unlikely adventures that mirror the author's experiences in trying to settle, survive and integrate into his local community in south-west France.
"...a real hoot." John Brain, Amazon "If laughter promotes good health then 'Make Mine a Kilowatt!' should be freely available on the NHS! It deserves to be an enormous best seller and I can't wait for the sequel." Ansley Carter, Amazon "What shines through all the hilarious incidents is the unique and quirky perspective of the author. This book is a real tonic." Anon, Amazon "A very good book from an excellent writer. Funny, intelligent, honest. Well worth a read. Looking forward to his next one." Bryan S, Amazon "A hilarious read - I couldn't put it down. A book to be revisited and the humour enjoyed all over again." Linda Nisbet, Amazon
