A breath-taking roller-coaster of a memoir, featuring a swash-buckling crusader shuttling between Britain and France, dealing in all manner of goods from motor yachts, medieval armour and classic cars to restoring French Châteaux, and getting in and out of all sorts of scrapes. “Geoffrey has had an exciting and intriguing life, quite different from the suburban ‘metro, boulot, dodo’ life like we say in France.

In this autobiography, he shares a lot of fun and sexy adventures, but also dodgy and difficult experiences as he moves from owning a marina in the UK to his many years living in France. Being his daughter has been the luckiest chance I could have had in my life.

Hard to step up after him. ”Diane Kenyon-May“I’ve got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom” Sir Angus Grossart, CBE Founder of Noble Grossart BankABOUT THE AUTHORGeoffrey Kenyon-May is an Englishman and an ex-racing driver with a love of old abandoned things.
