L’AUBERGE

Book ID/图书代码: 06400010B39500

English Summary/英文概要: The small commune of Fogas in the French Pyrenees has been thrown into turmoil by the revelation that the Auberge des Deux Vallées has been bought by an English couple and not by the Mayor’s brother-in-law as had been expected. With everyone aghast at the idea of an English run restaurant and the certainty of gastronomic disasters, Mayor Serge Papon is in the mood to take revenge. Within hours of hearing the news, he has called an emergency Committee meeting and his machinations to force out the new owners have begun.

But the Mayor hasn’t reckoned on one of his deputies, Christian Dupuy, whose conscience always leads his politics. Refusing to condone Mayor Papon’s calls to compulsory purchase the Auberge, he proposes an alternative solution which will prevent the Mayor from getting his own way. Or will it . . .

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 當歐貝格飯店被一對英國夫婦收購,而不是大家所期望的市長姐夫,整個Fogas社區都震驚了,陷入一片混亂。 大家都很反感竟然會有一個英國人經營法國餐館,這不是一場烹飪災難嗎?市長Serge Papon準備復仇。聽到這個消息幾小時後,他就開了一場緊急會議,準備一場將英國夫婦趕出飯店的陰謀。市長沒有注意到的是他的副手克裡斯提•杜佩,此人做事但求問心無愧,因此他非但沒響應市長的號召,而且還想辦法阻止市長的行為。(Celia)

’Entertaining drama in small-town France.’ Best new paperbacks (Woman and Home )

About the Author/作者介绍: 由於喜愛旅遊,Julia在日本、澳大利亞、英國、美國以及法國居住。她做過女服務員、收銀員、典當鋪老闆和英語老師。2004年,熱愛騎自行車和爬山的她搬到比利牛斯山脈法國區,和丈夫一起經營一家小旅館,此時,她終於可以集女服務員、接待員、清掃工和主廚為一身。 這些經歷促成她的三部曲系列the Fogas Chronicles。空閒之時,Julia總是會去爬山、在山路間徒步尋找小說的背景;也會騎著自行車在村莊裡穿行,這些都成了她書中的一部分。

Cursed from a young age with itchy feet, Julia has lived in Japan, Australia, the UK, the USA and more recently, France. She has worked as a waitress, a ’check-out chick’, a bookseller, a pawnbroker and as a teacher of English as a Foreign Language.

In 2004, tempted by a love of cycling and a passion for mountains, she moved to the gorgeous Ariège-Pyrenees region of France to run a small auberge with her husband where she was able to add chambermaid, receptionist, cleaner and chef to her CV all in one go.

When not writing or running the business, Julia spent her time out in the mountains, walking the paths and the ridges that provide the beautiful setting for the Fogas novels or riding her bike through the small hamlets and villages that are a vital part of her books.

She currently divides her time between the Ariège and the Yorkshire Dales and for a short while at least, those feet have stopped itching.
