From the Back Cover:
Love is like a good cassoulet, it needs time and determination. Some bits are delicious, while others might be a bit rancid and make you wince. A perpetual breeze blows through Amour-sur-Belle, a village in South-West France so ugly that even the English refuse to live there. Guillaume Ladoucette, the barber, is forced to give up his business as the advancing age of his customers means many have gone bald. He decides to set himself up as a matchmaker instead, because, despite its name, love is the one thing that Amour-sur-Belle lacks. But how can a matchmaker make love simmer like a perfect cassoulet when he has not yet solved the problem of his own troubled heart? Fast, furious and incredibly funny She Zesty…injects her own brand of va-va-voom Independent
