    <body><![CDATA[April in Paris is not great literature, but it's hard to resist its appeal. In the tradition of Casablanca (although definitely not on the same level), this novel suffers mostly from a lot of clichés and from a rather bland writing style, yet somehow it manages to take off, especially during the se...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75865675">more...</a>]]></body>

When he is sent to Paris he falls in love with a Parisian so by night he tries to pass himself off as a Parisian.
