Au revoir Madame Guillotine

At 35, Steve manages to persuade his long-suffering French girlfriend, Marie-Noel, aka Merry Christmas, that it would be a good idea if he came to live with her in France. The book recounts the hilarious tale of two cultures that were never meant to come together under the same roof. Steve is suddenly faced with social, cultural and culinary differences infinitely wider than the English Channel that he had just crossed. As the relationship lurches from one faux pas to the next, Steve finds an unexpected ally in his girlfriend's three-year-old daughter. But will the little girl be able to save him from the ever-looming threat of Madame Guillotine?
