Push Yourself! Tony Smith

'Push Yourself' and other stories. ... Marrying into a French/Italian family - 40 years of living in France. This authobiographic book follows on from 'Philodog and other stories' published in 2019. I was the 'skinny anchovy' (according to her grandmother), an effeminate non sports lover (according to her brother in law) and an extremely odd character (according to her whole family) with a penchant for lying on damp grass. 'Oh, don't worry about him' my wife would say to everyone as they peered at me stretched out on the lawn in front of the glassed in terrace in mid April 'He thinks it's summer already.'
