She remains at the Dreamy Pines to hand over the keys to the owner, Mr Sanguinetti. And except for the last day, when the manager and his wife depart, it is mainly trouble free. On a rainy night she checks into the the Dreamy Pines Motor Court.Īlthough almost deserted, the motel’s manager offers her the job of receptionist for the two weeks prior to the winter shutdown.
Finally she finds herself at Lake George, “the dreadful hub of tourism in the Adirondacks that has somehow managed to turn the history and the forests and the wildlife into honky-tonk”. Once in Florida she will decide what to do next.Īlthough she is over the border a day after leaving Quebec, she then spends the next fortnight taking her time to explore the Adirondacks in full. After several bad experiences with men she decides to buy a Vespa motor scooter and drive down from Quebec to Florida, exploring as she goes. Prior to that point Viv gives her account of arriving in England to attend finishing school, then her love life and heartbreaks in London.
And when he does arrive Bond is kept busy trying to save himself and the girl from two gangsters. It is written from the point of view of the French-Canadian female protagonist, Vivienne Michel.Īpart from featuring a firm Fleming favourite it lacks the normal food-and-drinkmanship of the other Bond novels almost entirely.īy the time James Bond appears in the story, at a motel in the Adirondacks, we are two-thirds of the way in. The Spy Who Loved Me is unlike any other of Ian Fleming’s other James Bond adventures in one important respect.
