With a poodle clutched in one arm and notes for her epic historical novel under the other, Maureen Cashman escaped the bushfires of Canberra for a 'valley of paradise' in the south-west of France. Installed in a restored wing of an ancient priory, Maureen and Charlie - her Australian-born poodle - enter into the routines and rituals of the small, rural town of Espagnac-St-Eulalie. Together Maureen and Charlie discovered a completely different pace of life, a stunning landscape and a dramatic turn of the seasons. They discovered too a culinary hotspot with cheeses that had Charlie literally dancing, and table fare that converted a near-vegetarian author into a lover of game and even foi-gras. But Val-Paradis changed much more than that... Explore the French countryside, meet new friends and share some time with a charming, unpredictable poodle in Maureen Cashman's delightful, insightful and gently humorous tale of life in paradise.
This gently-paced book is the story of Cashman's time in the village of Espagnac-Ste-Eulalie in south-west France. The 'Charlie' of the title is her poodle. This book provides a delightful, thoughtful window into the lives of these French villagers, enhanced by charming illustrations. It is a contemplative insight into rural France on the cusp of change. It will appeal to anyone interested in people and places as well as travellers, dog-lovers and Francophiles.

Carlo Fontal, one of the monastery's owners, is restoring it, but it is unclear where the money for the project is coming from. Armi, her suspicions aroused, is torn between her growing attraction to Carlo and her reluctance to repeat past mistakes. What secrets connect the medal, the monastery, and the deceased billionaire who owned the Roland Medals? And what does a predator from Armi's troubled childhood know about them?

She dedicates herself completely to the land—at the cost of great sacrifices. O Pioneers! [1913] is Willa Cather's great masterpiece about American pioneers, where the land is as important a character as the people who cultivate it. WILLA CATHER [1873-1947] was an American author. After studying at the University of Nebraska, she worked as a teacher and journalist. Cather's novels often focus on settlers in the USA with a particular emphasis on female pioneers. In 1923, she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for the novel One of Ours, and in 1943, she was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
