Description

Mark Greenside's story is a heartwarming tale of transformation, set against the stunning backdrop of Brittany, France. A native New Yorker, Greenside finds himself in a tiny Celtic village in the west of France, where he must navigate a new culture and language to make a life for himself.

With a playful and headlong style, Greenside shares his experiences as he opens a bank account, buys a house, and learns to live among his new neighbours. From the everyday trials of daily life to the more significant challenges of building a new identity, Greenside's journey is a testament to the power of human connection and the importance of finding one's place in the world.

This beautifully illustrated memoir is a story of self-discovery and belonging, as Greenside finds a new sense of purpose and meaning in a country where he didn't speak the language or understand the culture. a worthwhile read for anyone who has ever felt lost or uncertain about their place in the world.
