Parlez vous Francais?

Non-Fiction Book: I'll Never Be French (no matter what I do) by Mark Greenside

This is a light fun read about a middle-aged American man who goes to Brittany, France on an extended vacation and falls in love with a small Breton village. He doesn't speak the language, has little knowledge of how things in the country operate, and manages to buy a house before he leaves.

Each chapter is a little story about his experience dealing with an everyday situation, from the simple-buying groceries, to the more complex-making a claim with his insurance agent. Along the way he describes the challenges and pleasures of living in a different culture, and learning to live in a small town.

The Support Staff recommended it to me. I liked it too. So much so, I'm busy checking fares on Air France.
