One grey dismal day, Janine Marsh was on a trip to northern France to pick up some cheap wine. She returned to England a few hours later having put in an offer on a rundown old barn in the rural Seven Valleys area of Pas de Calais. This was not something she'd expected or planned for.
Janine eventually gave up her job in London to move with her husband to live the good life in France. Or so she hoped. While getting to grips with the locals and la vie Française, and renovating her dilapidated new house, a building lacking the comforts of mains drainage, heating, or proper rooms, and with little money and less of a clue, she started to realize there was lot more to her new home than she could ever have imagined.
Ten years ago, Janine Marsh decided to leave her corporate life behind to fix up a run-down barn in northern France. This is the true story of her rollercoaster ride, in many ways a love story, with her sharp observations on the very different way of life, culture, and etiquette of France.
From her early struggles and homesickness through personal tragedy, to her attempts to become self-sufficient and to breed "the fattest chickens in the village", Janine learned that there was more to her new home than she could ever have imagined.

I've been eagerly awaiting the publication of Janine Marsh's memoir, My Good Life in France, and was honoured to receive an ARC for an honest review. It's no surprise that this book is everything readers hope it will be. With her sharp insight after many years as an ex-pat in France and her engaging sense of humour, Marsh takes us on the bumpy road of highs and lows restoring a "truly awful" (her words) property in the north of France that captured her heart.Through the author's eyes and experiences we discover the (relatively unknown to tourists) Seven Valleys area in the Pas-de-Calais, which is now on my "must visit" list. Easily drawn into Marsh's entertaining narrative by her sharp observations and warm-hearted nature, we get to know her neighbours, the local traditions and her growing family of dogs, cats, and assorted feathered friends.Thank goodness for an understanding husband who is also an enterprising craftsman. There are challenges that would deter most from staying the course. Yet not only do the Marshes survive, but a brilliant new career path is born.This book is a delightful read that I highly recommend.
I have not read a book in a very long time (shame on me) because I care for my aged mother and have a small chicken farm AND a brain injured son, which keep me hopping. For the past 4 years, I would de-stress at night, by hopping into bed with my laptop and looking at real estate in France. I saw major projects, like Janine and Mark's barn-home, and some old, stone homes that needed upgrading but not to the extent that their's did. I always got lost in the fantasy of moving there....growing a few veggies, herbs and flowers....raising chickens, learning the language and leaving the stress of American politics in the dust.While reading Janine's book....I was living vicariously through her. Her description of the first house they looked at had me chucking out loud...I had seen so many houses that fit that description. I even wondered if I had seen THAT house on the Legget website! I learned so much...laughed out loud, and got incredibly anxious when I saw there was only one chapter left. Now what to do? Read it again??I do hope Janine will write another...and soon. I love her style, wit and knowledge. I doubt I will ever move there....much to my chagrin, but do hope to go back again. (I was there with my late husband for our honeymoon, in '99) Funny, I was only there for 2 weeks, but felt homesick once I came back to the states. I get that homesick feeling whenever I watch a French movie....and got it while reading the book. A great read. Seriously! Vive la France!
Love this, love this, love this.From the first sentence Janine sets the reader up for a journey into the joys and tribulations of of becoming an Expat. On a "whim" she and her husband embarked on the challenge of restoring a dilapidated building in northern France. With minimal language skills, small budget, and the frustration of dealing with the French bureaucracy, she found a way to maintain her optimism and sense of humor.The reader gets a reality check of what it takes in time, effort and money to take on such a project. Along the way you learn about the climate and culture of this region-the things that would endear you or terrify you.While I never planned on setting up a future home in northern, rural France, I discovered I will need more money and patience and a never ending sense of humor to successfully maneuver my move.I found myself chuckling out loud! Can't wait for a sequel.
I've purchased over twenty books about France this year and My Good Life in France by Janine Marsh is my #1 favorite. This book details, without providing long, drawn out details, the author's decision to leave London and live in France. I love how creative the author is with words and the storyline. At times she made me feel as if I was right there observing her adventure in person. Filled with rich details and stories about French people, the French culture, French foods, and language, as well as French customs and landscape. Love, love this book and would highly recommend it to anyone hungry for details about what it is like to relocate one's self to France.
I had been so looking forward to this book and when I downloaded it on kindle I started it immediately and literally could not stop til the end. Brits Janine Marsh and her husband impulsively bought an awesomely dated, rundown house in northern France. This books is an accounting of that renovation over many years. It is also an exploration of very loving relationships in her family and with the many people who have become her "family" in France. Marsh writes very well indeed and her writing captures her persistence, curiosity, courage, intelligence, always good humor and most important her love of all things French and of all animals, especially discarded ones. She never liked to cook but fortunately her husband does. Despite the trials (and there were many) they are still in the house in France and friends and family still visit! She still loves all things French and admits she is still learning though she studied French in school for years. She writes an ongoing blog that now has more than 500,000 followers! I am now rereading The Good Life in France.
