Publisher Description:

It seemed like a good idea at the time. When British healthcare failed her ageing mother, eccentric writer Tottie decided to uproot her dysfunctional family and try again in France. But was France ready for her depressed dipsomaniac brother, her nearly nonogenarian mother who enjoyed saying "bum" and "bugger" and her elderly collie with a weak heart and his own blog? 'Is That Billinge Lump?' continues the saga which began with 'Sell the Pig'. With Tottie's candid style to tell a 'life in France tale' with a difference, you'll find chuckles and tears in equal measure. Did France live up to its reputation for excellence in healthcare? Did Tottie survive sharing living space with her unpredictable brother? There's only one way to find out ...

Contributor Bio(s): Limejuice, Tottie: - Retired journalist, freelance copywriter and copy editor Lesley Tither writes under various pen names for different genres. Already well known for travel memoirs as Tottie Limejuice, Lesley also writes crime fiction (the Ted Darling Crime Series) under the name L. M. Krier, and children's fiction as L M Kay. "Sell the Pig" is the first in a series of travel memoirs describing how Lesley, writing as Tottie Limejuice, decided to make the move from the UK to France to start a new life, taking with her an 89-year-old mother suffering from vascular dementia. The story continues in four further books, 'Is That Billinge Lump?', 'Mother, Was It Worth It?' and 'Biff the Useless Mention', book 5 in the 'trilogy' (you need to read the books to get the joke!). There is now a sixth book, Trot On! from the same author.
