Description Peter Mayle may have spent a year in Provence, but Harriet Welty Rochefort writes from the experience of slugging it out over twenty years of living, observing, and coping in Paris!
From a small town in Iowa to the City of Lights, Harriet has done what so many dream of someday doing--she picked up and moved to France. But it has not been twenty years of fun and games; Harriet has endured her share of cultural bumps, bruises, and psychic adjustments. In French Toast, Harriet demystifies the French. She makes sense of their ever-so-French thoughts on food, money, sex, love, marriage, manners, schools, style, and much more. Harriet's first-person account offers both a helpful reality-check and a lot of very funny moments.
