Tout Sweet by Karen Wheeler

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to pick up your life, pack everything away and move to a foreign country?.  To start over building new friendships and relationships and immersing yourself in a new culture is something that most people have dreamed about at one time or another but don't have the courage to see through.

There are amazing works such as Karen Wheeler's Tout Sweet that brings the experience to life for us dreamers.  There seems to be an amazing adventure in store for Karen the second that she decides to leave her life in London in search of something more fulfilling.  This is more than just a true tale of girl falls in love with France, moves, finds romance and lives happily ever after.  This is a glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who stumbles into relationships with new friends and potential suitors and learns the true meaning to finding happiness. The journey for Karen is not always easy and she confronts the ghosts of her past and begins paving the way for new dreams.

Tout Sweet is a book that I couldn't put down.  From the moment I picked up the book, I became lost in this new world that Karen created for herself in France.  I felt as though I walked alongside Wheeler as she explored her new run down house in the village or the countryside she so clearly describes throughout the book.  Tout Sweet is a must read for anyone who has dreamed of living in France because Karen Wheeler shows that it is possible.
