About the Book

"OF PARADISE AND MISS JANE POLLITT" is John Rigbey's second visit to St. Laurent-des-Anges, in South-West France, and again he makes us laugh and cry and - above all - he entertains. Following her death, it is discovered that the mayor's mother, Madame Sophie Allard, has left a large inheritance to long-time ex-pat, eccentric Jane Pollitt. The mayor's fury and his determination to defy his dead mother's wishes, serve to introduce a series of carefully drawn characters, both French and English ex-patriots. Those who have read "Of Paradise and Pigs" will recall priggish self-appointed doyen of the local Brits, Norman Titley, and pork butcher's wife and supreme gossip Madame Chantale Danne; add to these a host of others, including a former West End director of Soho fringe "theatre" shows and his friend, and combine the whole with the annual ex-pats' pantomime you have another hilarious book by this popular writer. "OF PARADISE AND MISS JANE POLLITT" is certainly satirical but never unkind. Crafted by an author who has spent a large part of his life in France, it is drawn from his personal experiences and observations. As a reviewer of "Pigs" wrote: "A very funny, and at times cringingly true, snap shot of life in France!!"
About the Author: A former London CID officer, John Rigbey has published six crime novels, one previous satirical look at British ex pats in France and one Isle of Wight based romance based during WW2. He is eighty years old and lives with his French wife in South West England. All his books have been well received and the many reviews speak for themselves.
