Having spent three years alone in France, doing his best to survive in a foreign land, and failing miserably to woo a dishy French copine, Michael Wright feels he's perhaps reached a near Zen-like state of contentment. He has everything he ever wanted - his new life as a paysanne, his cat, the chickens and the sheep, his French neighbours and friends, his piano, his aeroplane - perhaps he should call un arrete to his occasionaly over-eager search for a woman to complete his life? But barely a week after coming to this momentous decision, an email from an old school friend re-introduc es him to Alice - a paid-up urban girl with an expensive shoe habit and deep-rooted mistrust of the countryside, let alone the French countryside. And Alice works - conveniently - on the other side of the Atlantic, in Baltimore, USA. But love knows no bounds and so begins an unlikely romance, conducted across two continents, as Michael the rustic hermit struggles to unlearn his lessons in living alone and contemplates the prospect of sharing his French life (not to mention his aeroplane) with someone else.
