One Brit in Brussels. Two French Women. And a whole lot of merde.
The hilarious new novel from Stephen Clarke, bestselling author of A Year in the Merde and A Thousand Years of Annoying the French.
Does Brussels really want to outlaw bingo, bagpipes and smoky bacon crisps? Are eurocrats trying to rename the English Channel? And can the ink in euro notes really make men impotent?
No. Well, not exactly.
But it is true that the EU is a seriously flawed institution.
And it's about to become even more so as Englishman Paul West goes to Brussels to work for a French MEP, and gets an insider's view of what really goes on in the massive madhouse that is the EU Parliament.
As Britain prepares to vote whether it stays in or exits the EU, Paul gets the chance to influence the result of the referendum.
He has to decide: better the devil you know? Or bring on the Brexit?
It's a decision that could cost him a lot more than his euro paypacket . . .

Stephen Clarke lives in Paris, where he divides his time between writing and not writing. His five Merde novels, A Year in the Merde, Merde Actually, Merde Happens, Dial M for Merde and The Merde Factor have been bestsellers all over the world - including France. Stephen also writes non-fiction books, which include Talk to the Snail, an insider's guide to understanding the French, How the French Won Waterloo or Think They Did, an amused look at France's continuing obsession with Napoleon, Dirty Bertie, the story of King Edward VII's youthful follies in France, and 1000 Years of Annoying the French, which was a number one bestseller in Britain. Research for Stephen's novels has taken him all over Europe and America. For Merde in Europe, he ventured deep into the cloistered corridors of Brussels. He has now returned to Paris, and is doing his best to live the Entente Cordiale.
"Stephen Clarke brings some much-needed humour to Britain's EU referendum debate in this entertaining novel... Clarke considers both sides of the argument and makes the debate much more accessible." France Magazine "The inside story of what life is really like behind the scenes at the European Union" Express "Humorous tale ..." FRANCE Magazine
