Book Review of A Year in the Merde (Paul West, Bk 1)

A Year in the Merde (Paul West, Bk 1)
Heloise avatar reviewed on


From the book cover:
Paul West is a 27-year old Brit brought to Paris by a French company to open a chain of British tearooms. He struggles to adapt to French culture,such as the boss's morally challenged daughter, a group of grumbling French employees. He discovers how to get the best out of the grumpiest French waiter and how to survive a French business meeting.
This is an "urban response" to Peter Mayle's A Year in Provence.
