Bøker av Christine Wakefield

Welcome to "Bon Courage Les Anglais", where we seek to "open the shutter" to allow a glimmer of light to shine on the life of those who live there.We were two uninitiated "Anglais"; Christine, who could fortunately speak almost fluent French, and Peter, who initially struggled to string a sentence together. Our little book chronicles the many heart-warming, often funny, sometimes life-changing experiences that we and our French neighbours shared together. They record the ups and downs, the achievements and heartbreaks, the triumphs and mistakes of those incredible years. They seek to share the everyday acts of neighbourliness, kindness and practical support, and the love that underpinned all of these. They show a way of life echoing shades of fifty years ago, that we look back on nostalgically here in England.
