<p>Barbara Constantine's And Then Came Paulette has climbed the European bestseller charts providing many smiles and laughs as along the way. When his son's family move away, widower Ferdinand is left with only a sadistic kitten for company on a farm that was built for a family. Just as loneliness starts to bite, he discovers his neighbor Marceline has long been shivering beneath a leaky roof. He welcomes her to his farm, temporarily of course, and also provides a home for her dog and her gluttonous donkey.<br>As each begrudgingly adjusts to the other's quirks, yet more new arrivals appear. It seems that Ferdinand isn't the only one who was all-alone, and the dusty farm becomes a haven for lost souls of every age to share their sorrows and set about rediscovering their joie de vivre. Amidst the newfound hustle and bustle, one final uninvited guest threatens to upset the apple cart once and for all. Constantine has created a delightful and poignant novel of people coming together to create new interpersonal relationships of support.</p>

Ferdinand vit seul dans sa ferme. Et ca ne le rend pas franchement joyeux. Un jour, il passe chez Marceline, sa voisine, et decouvre que son toit est sur le point de s'effondrer. Tres naturellement, ses petits-fils, les Lulus, lui suggerent de l'inviter a la ferme. L'idee le fait sourire. Mais ce n'est pas si simple, certaines choses se font, d'autres pas... Il finit tout de meme par aller la chercher. De fil en aiguille, la ferme va se remplir, s'agiter, recommencer a fonctionner. Un ami d'enfance devenu veuf, deux tres vieilles dames affolees, des etudiants un peu paumes, un amour naissant, des animaux. Et puis, Paulette...Avec legerete, la romanciere brosse le portrait d'une societe qui aurait tout a gagner a ne pas se couper de la terre et a prendre soin de ses anciens. Psychologies magazine.Un recit hors du temps, tout a fait rafraichissant. Claire Ageneau, La Vie.
