The charming true story of a spirited young woman who finds adventure--and the love of her life--in Paris.
Sarah Turnbull's stint in Paris was only supposed to last a week. Chance had brought Sarah and Frédéric together in Bucharest, and on impulse she decided to take him up on his offer to visit him in the world's most romantic city. Sacrificing Vegemite for vichyssoise, the feisty journalist does her best to fit in, although her conversation, her laugh, and even her wardrobe advertise her foreigner status.
As she navigates the highs and lows of this strange new world, from life in a bustling quartier and surviving Parisian dinner parties to covering the haute couture fashion shows and discovering the hard way the paradoxes of French culture, little by little Sarah falls under its spell: maddening, mysterious, and charged with that French specialty - séduction.
An entertaining tale of being a fish out of water, Almost French is a delightful, fresh twist on the travel memoir that is fraught with culture clashes but rife with deadpan humor.
Book with a few signs of use but overall well preserved; small annotations on the first two pages.
