May I say that one of my favorite people is also called Betsy! Nice name. :) I like the idea of a glossary of French idioms, maybe that can be my next project. (Not that I need any more projects, but I think it's a great idea.) Thanks so much for your kind words! Thank you, Betsy! May I say that one of my favorite people is also called Betsy!

(One does sometimes cringe at French logic, but since I have French ancestors, what can I say?) If Laura could put a glossary of French idioms on this website from her book or her experience, I would love it! I have a friend who has some of the same English and French lineage that I have, so I referred this book to her and can't wait until she gets it. Since my copy must be returned to the library, I must buy one because I want to reread it, highlighting the language and the places she mentions. The visualization of the scenes, the interaction of the characters, and the obvious understanding of how culture clash can be intriguing as well as entertaining are so well presented! Brava!

I've always been in love with Paris and it was quite fun to read! I have a French sister-in-law so it was doubly entertaining as I can relate to some of the culture differences. :) Thank you for sharing your talent and experiences with us. Can't wait to read more from you! Laura I just finished your book and I LOVED it! I’ve always been in love with Paris and it was quite fun to read!
