Book Review of Almost French: Love And A New Life In Paris

Almost French: Love And A New Life In Paris
reviewed on


A journalist in her late twenties meets a Frenchman in Romania and is invited to visit him for two weeks in Paris. Her French and his English both leave much to be desired and it is painful to try to live in a French society that generally makes her feel invisible, but eventually the charm of Frederic, Paris, and France itself win out and she settles down there happily. On the way are some very interesting insights about the French and some very funny gaffes that were not funny to the author at the time.
