In the Merde for Love

Notify me when the book’s added

The latest episode in Stephen Clarke's almost-true account of his adventures as an expat in France is just as winning as the first. This “anti-Mayle” will have readers chortling over their croissants and café au lait while Paul West struggles to solve the mysteries inherent in life in France. What is the best way to scare a gendarme? Is it really polite to sleep with your boss's mistress? And why are there no public health warnings on French nude beaches? Paul discovers how to judge a French vacationer by the rustiness of his bicycle; opens his English tearoom; and finally understands why Parisian waiters are so cranky. Just in time for spring in Paris, find out if Paul finds the perfect French mademoiselle or if it all ends in merde!

He did his ten minutes of blah about all of us thinking outside the box and staying in the loop, and before we had finished applauding and whooping, he had buggered off back to the USA to let us get on with our drinking.
