Almost French: Love and a New Life in Paris by Sarah Turnbull
4.0
If you're looking for a book about Paris, this is a good start. An Australian meets a Parisienne while traveling and decides to visit him. The visit quickly changes her travel and living plans, as she moves in with him. In this book, she talks about her struggles to fit in with the French, while being an Australian. I never realized how similar Australians and Americans were, but at reading the funny things that drives her crazy and makes her stand out feels very familiar.
Everything from getting a dog to moving into Paris from the suburbs gives her a new take on France and she allows us to along for the ride. If you've ever wondered what it might be like to live in Paris as a foreigner, this book is a must read. It's highly entertaining, while also being informative about history, economics and slights shifts in Paris and the country in which it resides.
