Sell the Pig: A Travel Tale with a Twist
What happens when dementia, depressed dipsomania and downright dottiness decide to uproot from the UK and move to France together. Worried by the lack of care for her frail elderly mother in the UK, Tottie decides a new life elsewhere might be the answer. Sell the Pig is a travel tale with a twist, describing with alternating humour and poignancy how a somewhat dysfunctional family decide to uproot and move to rural France. Eccentric Tottie, her manic depressive alcoholic brother, their mother, whose dementia has given her an obsession with bums, and an equally elderly border collie, decide France's Auvergne is to be their new home. This is the story of what led them to make that journey. Sell the Pig is the first in a series of books which continues with Is That Billinge Lump? and Mother, Was It Worth It?

Travel memoir with a difference
Kept me company during my days under the duvet fighting off a cold/virus.
This isn't any ordinary travel memoir from the author Tottie Limejuice who I met on Twitter. Tottie certainly has a way with words, nothing boring here folks. We've all read books about 'My life in France and why I moved to France for a better life, ' well this one is completely different because of the specific way it is told. Together we see through Tottie's eyes, told in a humorous way, why she took the decision to uproot from the UK and settle in France with her elderly mother suffering from dementia.
Great read that will have you chuckling out loud in parts and cringing in others.
Sell the Pig, Why move to France?
Why Move To France? This is one woman's answer to that question. Not just another 'Brit in the Dordogne' account, but a funny and touching portrait of place and people deftly and vividly described. Artfully crafted and deceptively simple, Tottie Limejuice's story of her emigration to the heart of rural France with her idiosyncratic family will charm and entertain and disturb and entrance you, leaving you wanting much more."
