![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Throughout the book, I was forced to revise my opinions once or twice about what was really going on. Before long, it starts to become obvious that Jean is using John as a scapegoat Jean’s family and business are both in a mess and he wants someone else to have to deal with them. Naturally, they expect him to continue running the family glass-making business and arranging shooting parties – things that John has absolutely no experience in. When Jean’s chauffeur arrives at the hotel, John is unable to convince him of what has happened – and ends up accompanying the chauffeur to Jean de Gue’s chateau, where the Frenchman’s unsuspecting family assume that he really is Jean de Gue. John agrees to go for a drink with Jean but falls into a drunken stupor and wakes up in a hotel room to find that Jean has disappeared, taking John’s clothes and identity documents with him! What would you do if you came face to face with yourself? That’s what happens to John, an Englishman on holiday in France, when he meets his exact double – a Frenchman called Jean de Gue. ![]()
