Steve Hoffman is a perfectly comfortable middle-aged Minnesotan man who has always been desperately, pretentiously in love with France, more specifically with the idea of France. To follow that love, he and his family move, nearly at random, to the small, rural, scratchy-hot village of Autignac in the south of the country, and he immediately thinks he’s made a terrible mistake.

Beautifully detailed memoir

5 stars for his writing and books read by the author are my favorite. This is a vulnerable exposé of what he went through to assimilate into his favorite country. His wife though! He does not judge her, just relates facts but she seems a dehumanizing harpy! She bullies the author so badly it's cringey. That said, his descriptors of the food, environment and characters immerse you in his experience.

The Road to Villa Page: A He Said/She Said Memoir of Buying Our Dream Home in France is the first in a series of books that captures the experience of living in the Dordogne region of France, as filtered through the eyes of an American family from a “he said, she said” perspective. Our story begins with falling in love with France, specifically the enchanting Dordogne. We weren’t the first and we won’t be the last.

I'm interested in moving to France and am always searching for info. I liked the story of their relationships with the characters they encounter. They seemed like such snobs though, name dropping, and bragging about their fabulous LA life. They made soooo much money from residuals and their ritzy house.
They didn't take their 13 year old dog. They weren't specific but it sounded like they put him down before they left because he had diabetes. They wanted to adopt a kid but only a baby and they turned down one with health issues. They paid people to do the restoration on the house and only did little parts themselves.
it was also annoying the two readers pronounced the same words differently and the way the female enunciated the French words was grating.
Overall decently written and if you're famous writer/photographers that can jet back and forth all the time totally achievable!
