Julie Haigh’s Reviews > Fat Dogs And French Estates Part 2 > Status Update

I'm liking this, it's told with fun and warmth. Always different and amusing ways of describing things. Many smiles in here. I love Beth Haslam's word choices. It's quite beautiful reading about their journey trying to find a property in France. Beth has a lovely command of the English language.

I love all these different and refreshing choices of words, a lot of thought has gone into this. Luxurious descriptions, really capturing the atmosphere. Really enjoyed this.

This brought a lump to my throat-the Comtesse is in a wheelchair and La Comte has respiratory aids, they are in a mess, perhaps they are having to sell their home because they're both unable to care for it and themselves. Very sad.

And yet more discoveries they're making, Madame la Comtesse has a very large and varied collection of dolls. All these, along with the Comte's collections are so expertly described that all this felt like an unexpected bonus, like I was actually being shown around, the detailing was so vivid.
