I agree, I wouldn¹t drink it either... This part of France is
very beautiful and very hospitable and not completely
corrupted by the travel/vacation industry and retains a
friendly and
Œauthentic¹ character...as an indication I add here as a
Œguide¹ for future travels you might want to do, a kind of
intro to some places in France and some ways to navigate and
stay in France cheaply and interestingly. This is a kind of
compilation of many e-mails I sent to friends throughout the
years and I put it into this form about 5 years ago...(It
does not have any connection to the subjects written about in
rara-avis, just about travel in france)
The critique Thierry Godefroy in Mauvais Genres gave both
your books a 7/10 grade and were very good; they can be found
at: http://www.mauvaisgenres.com/vicky_hendrix.htm
(they are in French of course) The one on Sky Blues says at
the end: A good book that makes us regret the absence of
translation in French of her two previouus novels Iguana
Love99 and Voluntary madness-01 and the last line on Miami
Purityy says: the raw lighht that it (the book) brings on
female sexuality radiates with strength and authenticity even
if it is not truly innovative...
