Ian Moore’s memoirs reissued
Comic's story of uprooting from London to rural France
Stand-up Ian Moore’s memoirs about giving up London life for the serenity of the Loire Valley are being reissued.
Out on July 11, Vive Le Chaos is a reprint of À La Mod, first published a decade ago.
But in that time he has become better known as the author of the Follet Valley crime series, inspired by his life in France and which began with Death and Croissants in 2021.
Subtitled My So-Called Tranquil Family Life in Rural France, the reissued autobiography describes how Moore ‘finds himself up to his neck in bilingual offspring, feral cats, promiscuous horses, dysfunctional spaniels and needy hens’ while ‘wrestling with electric fences, a foreign language, a mountain of animal waste and a wife who collects livestock like there's a biblical flood on the horizon, all while trying not to dirty his pristine loafers.’
Moore is also the author of The Man Who Didn't Burn, the first in a new Juge Lombard series, also set in the Loire Valley and published last year.
He also wrote a second volume of memoirs C'est Modnifique!, which were published in 2014
