<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The true story of the world's worst housewife's attempts to run two holiday homes in remotest France and her love/hate relationship with her guests. FINALIST, THE PEOPLE'S BOOK PRIZE 2016<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>A hilarious tale of restoring and running two holiday cottages in a remote hamlet of SW France. As the world's worst housekeeper, running holiday homes wasn't, with hindsight, a sensible idea. But two collapsing buildings on Susie Kelly's land would cost more to demolish than to restore. Thus she became a seasonal landlady.</p> <p>Before the guests came the builders. No's 1, 2, 3 all started promisingly, but by builder No. 4, and with her first guests just hours away, her patience was stretched to its limit. Her summer and winter visitors couldn't, as they say, be made up, though, to spare their blushes some of them have been air-brushed. They brought with them laughter, tears, romance, friendship and occasional madness. And they all left behind jars of jam and pots of pepper. From them Susie learned that you don't need to travel to find adventure. If you run holiday homes it comes to your doorstep. Unfortunately for Susie this included Ivy. The cleaning lady from hell.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>'This is another Susie Kelly great read that often had me laughing out loud.
