I am a fan of the show which made me eager to read A Year at the Chateau by Dick and Angel Strawbridge. The author's write the way they speak. Angel is enthusiastic while Dick is more reserved. You can tell that they both love their family and their chateau. I like their easy-going writing style. I enjoyed reading how the Strawbridge's found their property and the beginning of their repairs. They are a hardworking pair with creative ideas. While Dick can do the manual bits and come up with clever ways to make items (or engineer gizmos), Angel is the idea person. She is also the creative one. Their love for one another is quite apparent. I thought the book was a good supplement to the show. It gives readers a more in-depth look at their projects. They provide facts about France and how living in France differs from England. You can tell the Strawbridge's love food. Their vivid descriptions are mouthwatering. I love that they included their wedding in the book as well as Christmas. I cannot imagine taking on such a massive remodeling project with two small children. We get a sense of Dick and Angel as well as their personalities. There are some repetitive details (a result of the dual points-of-view) and some of the renovation details were a bit dry (the only two negatives). Overall, I enjoyed A Year at the Chateau. I like the humor scattered throughout the story. I love a book that makes me laugh (and after the last couple of years, we need more humor in our lives). A Year at the Chateau is a delight with a crumbling chateau, a creative vision, mouthwatering morsels, curious children, generous relatives, jubilant nuptials, and a cheery Christmas.
