A Breath of French Air is a 1959 comedy novel by the British writer H. E. Bates. It is the sequel to his popular 1958 novel The Darling Buds of May about a family living in the Kent countryside. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The Larkins decide to take their first ever foreign holiday and travel to France, taking their Rolls-Royce with them.
