'A Person of Indian origin in France'

‘Life happens between plans’

Tyrax Ventura, a London based writer and musician falls for Hungarian ex ballerina Mimi. She wants to move to Sicily. He doesn’t. A compromise sees them move to a medieval village in France called St Antonin on the condition that he can open a music studio. They open a restaurant.

By sheer coincidence, St Antonin became the location for the Spielberg and Oprah Winfrey produced film ‘The hundred foot journey’ about an Indian family moving to a village in France to open a restaurant.

A person of Indian origin in France is the humorous true story of a person of Indian origin moving to St Antonin five years before the film was shot. It is a tall tale of despair and triumph featuring a parade of chancers, drug crazed expats and the French who are all thrown together in a twilight world of lunacy. It proves that some times many wrongs can make a right.

This book explodes many of the myths of living in France and is essential reading for anyone contemplating a new life there and for those that have always believed it to be a bad idea.
