Following in the footsteps of Peter Mayle's A Year in Provence, Tout Sweet is now a classic of the French memoir genre, cataloguing the disasters–and triumphs–of a former newspaper fashion editor, who waves goodbye to her glamorous city lifestyle and extensive shoe collection, to renovate a run-down house in rural France. Acquiring a host of new friends and unsuitable suitors, she learns that true happiness can be found in the simplest of things–a bike ride through the countryside on a summer evening, or a kir or three in a neighbour's courtyard.

Осенью 1866 года двадцатилетняя стенографистка Анна Сниткина подала заявление о приёме на работу к писателю, которого она боготворила, — Фёдору Достоевскому. Сниткина, называвшая себя «девушкой шестидесятых», выросла в эпоху первого в России феминистского движения, а Достоевский — известный радикал, ставший великим писателем, — впечатлил её своими произведениями. Однако при личной встрече Анна увидела Фёдора Михайловича несчастным, сломленным, измученным, страдающим эпилепсией и погрязшим в пагубной страсти к азартным играм.
