THE FRENCH POSTMISTRESS
Book ID/图书代码: 06400013B61479
English Summary/英文概要: When her post office burns down, postmistress Véronique starts lobbying for its replacement. But her fellow residents of the small commune of Fogas in the French Pyrenees are too preoccupied to rally to her cause.
Mayor Serge Papon, overwhelmed by grief at the death of his wife, has lost his joie de vivre and all taste for village politics (and croissants) and it seems as though deputy mayor Christian (whose tendresse for Véronique makes him her usual champion) will soon be saying au revoir to the mountain community. And to Sarko the bull...
Add to this a controversial government initiative to reintroduce bears to the area and soon the inhabitants are at loggerheads, threatening the progress of the sacred Tour de France and the very existence of Fogas itself...
In yet another tale with more ups and downs than a Pyrenean horizon, things are about to get grizzly.

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.
