Want something escapist? Look no further. This improbable tale of identity switching by two men, mirror-images of each other, who meet by chance in a French bar has everything: a luxurious chateau, a bed-ridden witch of a mother, a resentful brother and his sex-starved wife, a sister who won't talk to him, a put-down wife, a sweet child, a mistress in the village. Never mind it is only the dog who notices that John is not Jean, the pages just keep turning.
