So, she hangs up her Manolos and waves goodbye to her city lifestyle, deciding to go it alone in a run-down house in rural Poitou-Charentes, western France. Once there, she encounters a host of new friends and unsuitable suitors, soon learning that true happiness can be found in the simplest of things a bike ride through the countryside on a summer evening, or six glasses of Pinot in a neighbour s garden. If you ve ever dreamed of chucking away your BlackBerry and downshifting, Tout Sweet is perfect summer reading.
