I was really looking forward to reading this book, I enjoy Lucy's style of writing normally, but I am afraid it's a big thumbs down for this one, and I feel she dwelled far to much on the political life of France of years gone by. I thought the book would be lighter and more to do with life in France, of normal people like the plumber or the baker, or the little old lady whose husband died years ago who will talk forever if you offer her a glass of wine.
I have lived in France for over seven years and I too have a child in school and not everyone is pre-occupied with religion and politics. I have only ever been to Paris once for the day and that was enough for me, I hate cities.
Though some things she wrote made me smile like the 'yaourt' and yes some of the people in the offices of les Impots need to lighten up, and why do I always get the cantankerous fifty year old who thinks I'm stupid because I can't explain myself as eloquently as she thinks I should over the telephone. I feel like replying in English, I speak three languages and you how many do you speak?
It won't put me off buying Lucy's novels but I won't buy another biographical sorry Lucy!
Coming from someone who has lived permanently in France since 1990, this is well written, intelligent, perceptive and sometimes very funny, anyone who has lived or is planning on living in France should read this. Highly recommended. Should be translated into French so that they can read it as well.
