Tony Hawks

And here, he imagines, he will finally fulfil his childhood fantasy of mastering the piano, all the while overlooking spectacular views as the troubles of the world pass by unnoticed.

Not as funny as I recall his book "Round Ireland With A Fridge" to have been, but it was rather fitting to my current life path, which involved uprooting my life rather on a whim and moving to Montréal and doing stuff like busking in the Metro. Tony Hawks decides to buy a vacation home in the French countryside with even less thought than I gave my own life re-imagining, with the idea being that he could have a place to practice his long-forgotten piano, one of the things he'd always wanted to pursue. After a lengthy process dealing with French paperwork, Hawks secures himself not only a house, but a special place that plays a pivotal role in the life changes and passing of milestones of the cast of characters he draws to him, bringing his friends from the UK into the mix with the small town he's adopted part of the year... for now.

An fun, light read and an excellent holiday read indeed! I'd never heard of Tony Hawks before but can't wait to read his other books:)
