by Polly Fielding (Author)
Polly Fielding has no idea what she is letting herself in for when, on impulse, she decides to blow her savings on a tiny apartment in Paris. She views it as an exciting adventure until, having paid the deposit, she comes face to face with reality. Struggling to use a rudimentary grasp of French, she tries to cope with situations rapidly spirally out of her control and grapples desperately with the infamous French bureaucracy in her attempts to settle into an alien environment. Through trial and error (mainly error) she discovers the importance of always observing French etiquette in shops, on public transport, in everyday life... We are introduced to a randy Italian plumber, a drunken French electrician, the Parisian from hell, Polly's all-too-English husband and wayward daughter, not to mention the best and worst of Parisian toilets.Polly's bewilderment at the variety of ways in which the French differ from their British neighbors is evident.Meanwhile, she attempts to transform a semi-derelict shell into a homely, peaceful oasis.If you are familiar with Paris you will enjoy an alternative view of this amazing city and if you have never been there yet you could find yourself rushing to book a holiday there.As for the title, read on to find out why it's more than just a corny pun..."Fielding's affection for Paris and all things French shine through and make for a thoroughly enjoyable read."
