John and Georgia left London for the joys of a simple, modest life in the French countryside, in their little dream "cottage." After a summer of sun and parties with friends, they have to face facts: the simple life is turning out more expensive than they’d expected, the winter is harsh and the locals are trouble. And why does Georgia put on so much make-up to see other men? The follow-up to the hilarious Death in the Dordogne, The Englishman’s Wife is another wry look at the expatriate dream gone horribly wrong.
