'If you had to pick two things you wanted - if you had to - what
would you pick?' I hesitated. This was a bigger question than
usually got asked at these post-match debriefs. 'I suppose the
honest answer would be,' I said, still accessing the last pieces of
required data from a jumbled mind, 'meeting my soul mate, and
finding an idyllic house abroad somewhere.' Inspired by
breathtaking views and romantic dreams of finding love in the
mountains, Tony Hawks impulsively buys a house in the French
Pyrenees. Here, he plans to finally fulfil his childhood fantasy of
mastering the piano, untroubled by the problems of the world. In
reality, the chaotic story of Tony's hopelessly ill-conceived house
purchase reads like the definitive guide to how not to buy a house
in France. It finds him flirting with the removal business in a
disastrous attempt to transport his piano to France in a dodgy
white van; foolishly electing to build a swimming pool himself; and
expanding his relationship repertoire when he starts co-habiting,
not with an exquisite French beauty, but with a middle-aged builder
from West London. As Tony and his friends haplessly attempt to fit
into village life, they learn more about themselves and each other
than they ever imagined.
