Oui. My husband is used to me being such a busybody about everyone’s lives, but my best friend still gently mocks me when I start asking questions. Hey, what can I say? I’m just a curious cat.

You might really like next week’s book even more. I haven’t even begun to read it myself, and already I think I’m going to like it, just from the dust jacket. Stay tuned! Same bat time, same bat channel.

Great review, I’ll have to add this to the Everest-sized list of books to read.

I think one of the main reasons I liked it is because the author doesn’t sugar-coat her experiences in France. She knows it’s a stylish, sophisticated, challenging culture with a History-with-a-capital-H behind it, but she’s also seen how cruel and confounding and ugly it can also be. Plus, she just has such a funny sense of humor. Not laugh out loud funny, just smile-knowingly kinda funny, ya know?

Anyhoo, I agree with you — this is a great read while sitting in a cafe some sunny, lazy afternoon.

I remember enjoying it however it wasn’t one of those that stuck with me.

This book was enjoyable as an afternoon read in a cafe.
