If you've lived in France or have dealings with Frenchies on a regular basis this is a MUST. Beware, you may laugh out loud raucously at certain points... be ready to explain when they ask why!
If you're English, this book is a riot. If you're French, you probably won't like it. If you're anything else, you'll find several parts very funny and other parts you won't fully understand.
Humorous account of Brit's year in France trying to open up a business as a partnership. Dry British humor, light reading; apparently especially funny if you are French and/or know the landscape, etc. Interesting insight into the French psyche. Because I missed some of the references and the phrases, I rated it only 3 1/2.
The best book I read last year. Fabulously funny and sophisticated.
Lots of fun
Think "A Year In Provence" with a libidinous cynical smartxxx fictionalized American, and there you go. It was an entertaining, mindless read. Good vacation or beach book.
