Why a Booktrail?
2000s: Continue your journey into fictional Fogas with this third installment of the Fogas chronicles and get real taste of a French village community with some very colourful characters.
The French Postmistress
What you need to know before your trail
Véronique, the postmistress, is the focus of this episode of the Fogas Chronicles and there’s a lot of humour to be had with her frustration at the reopening of the village post office. She has definite ideas about what is going on and what things should be like and she will protect her corner to the fore.
The Mayor, Serge, returns with his very unique role in village politics but he’s a changed man since the death of his wife and so has lost his political mojo so to speak.
Maybe the special guest appearance by The Tour de France will provide him as well as all the other inhabitants of the village, a welcome distraction.
Travel Guide
If you’re familiar with the beautiful setting and and the colourful characters that make up the village of Fogas in the Pyrénées-. (Fogas of course being purely fictional!) you will certainly want no, really need to go back.
As the pages unfold you are transported to the village and are priveliged to be part of its gossip, scheming, politics and romances.
The village is small, made up of an old fashioned set up of church, auberge, postoffice etc and homes of some very varied characters but in this book the landscape comes alive with the passing of the Tour de France and the excitement and best sporting symbol of those yellow jerseys.
