Karen Wheeler
In her mid-thirties, fashion editor Karen has it all: a handsome boyfriend, a fab flat in west London, and an array of gorgeus shoes. But when her boyfriend, Eric, leaves she makes an unexpected decision: to hang up her Manolos and wave good-bye to her glamorous city lifestyle to go it alone in a run-down house in rural Poitou-Charentes, central western France.Tout Sweet is the perfect read for anyone who dreams of chucking away their BlackBerry in favor of real blackberrying and downshifting to a romantic, alluring locale where new friendships—and new loves—are just some of the treasures to be found amongst life's simple pleasures.

"I wanted this to be so much better than it was. There was plenty of tension - that wasn’t resolved. Lots of hints at intriguing developments - which were either just loose threads or revealed in a quick matter of fact way at the end with no fanfare. She clumsily repeats herself a lot (I really did NOT need repetitions three through six that her favourite hippie coat is trimmed in furry astrakhan - a term that despite her love of it, she did not define and I had to Google). For somebody who already made a career out of writing before publishing an extensive memoir series, I expected stronger writing. Instead you get a massive cast of annoying whiny characters who Karen nonetheless dubs her “chosen family”, though why I can’t fathom as everybody in it sounds insufferable."
