Every parent believes their child is something special and will become somebody to be proud of ....... so how do you cope when it all goes horribly wrong ? Short listed for the Crema prize for new writers, A Call From France is set in France and tells, with wit and with love, the story of a British family who tried to settle there. Sometimes very funny and sometimes heart-wrenching, this is a book that will stay in your mind long after you have finished reading.
