About this listen

 Take a journey to Château-de-la-Motte Husson in the spellbinding memoir from Sunday Times bestselling authors, Dick and Angel Strawbridge.

Dick and Angel recount the newest and biggest challenges they faced on the journey to transforming their once derelict and abandoned château in France's Pays de la Loire into a thriving family home and sustainable business.

When the Covid-19 pandemic engulfs the world, the château faces a new challenge and the Strawbridges must find ways to adapt in order to keep their dream life in France alive. From the cancellation of the wedding season to finding new ways to complete renovations, living in an isolated bubble whilst continuing to film their TV series through to life after the pandemic, this is Dick and Angel at their most honest and heartfelt, revealing many details never seen on TV.

As entertaining, warm and irresistible as ever, Join Dick and Angel on their remarkable journey to find their family's forever home. Entertainment & Celebrities Europe Home Design & Renovation House & Home Western Europe Celebrity Heartfelt

Loved hearing the third instalment of their time so far at the chateau, read so engagingly by Dick and Angel. Adds depth to the tv show but equally enjoyable with or without having watched all the shows. A lovely window into the life their family and business. Hoping to visit the Chateau one day!

This book oozes family unity and positivity. It has a charm about it and is a soothing listen over the festive period as it has an upbeat feel

I think readers may need to have watched the show to get the most out of this audio book and appreciate the delivery style.

Their reflections on the COVID Lockdown were interesting and thoughtful and gave an insight which the show did not.. For this reason, I think it stands apart from their other Chateau books as I feel future generations will find those pandemic lockdown reflections of social historical interest.

I find the instructions how to craft or cook do not really work as an audio book. There is a lot of detail in this final of the trilog,y, perhaps too much detail , but it is an enjoyable listen.

A feel good listen

I was really looking forward to this book! To me it's just a repetition of what we heard from the tv show. It feels like"we had to write this book,it's in the contract "
Sadly I can't recommend this book 📕

Don’t buy this book - by reading the 2 preceding books you have all you need to know - I like Dick and Angel but this is a waste of money

Repeat of what we already know
