The tale of a naïf eventually getting to understand a complex, glittering, beautiful and often cruel society - at least a little.
What The Reviewers Say
Instead of joining the many Anglo expats in Paris whining about France’s high taxes, Kuper admires the generosity of the French system.
An absorbing, affectionate, astutely observed, cliche-free study of contemporary France..
As he learns to be a local... Kuper can seem a little too pleased with himself.
Enjoyable.
