Almost French A New Life in Paris
The irresistible true story of an adventurous heart, a maddening city and true love that has become an international bestseller. Put a very French Frenchman together with a strong-willed Australian woman and the result is some spectacular and often hilarious cultural clashes. Sarah's clothes, her laugh, her conversation - even how much she drinks - set her apart. Language is a minefield of misunderstanding and the simple act of buying a baguette at the local boulangerie is fraught with social danger. But as she navigates the highs and lows of this strange new world little by little Sarah falls under its spell: maddening, mysterious and charged with that French specialty - seduction. Funny, perceptive and poignant, this is a charming story of an adventurous heart from a delightful Australian writer who finds herself becoming almost French.

An enjoyable romp recounted in evocative prose." -- The Sydney Morning Herald "A delight to read." -- Booklist
