recommended for: Anyone interested in France or French culture
I am planning on moving to France in a month or so, and a friend recommended this book to me. I loved it! It was hilarious and provided an all too telling glimpse into French culture. Anyone who is planning on traveling to France or is simply a Francophile like myself would love this book which tells the story of a fictional British businessman who moves to France for a year in order to open up a series of English tea shops in France. Reading of his adventures (and misadventures) in the City of Light reminds us all why we love (and hate) France. I highly recommend this to anyone who is familiar with France and is looking for a fast, fun read.
