About The Author
Charles Timoney
Charles Timoney and his French wife decided to try living in France for a year or so when they were both made redundant in the same week. It proved much harder than expected. Charles’ O level in French was little help when everyone around him consistently used a wide variety of impenetrable slang and persisted in the annoying habit of talking about things he had never heard of. But they stayed. Two decades and two thoroughly French children later, he decided to write the two books that would have saved him from so many blunders and misunderstandings along the way- Pardon My French and A Certain Je Ne Sais Quoi.
