About this listen

After backpacking her way around Europe, journalist Sarah Turnbull is ready to embark on one last adventure before heading home to Sydney. A chance meeting with a charming Frenchman in Bucharest changes her travel plans forever. Acting on impulse, she agrees to visit Fredric in Paris for a week. Put a very French Frenchman together with a strong-willed Australian girl and the result is some spectacular - and often hilarious - cultural clashes. Language is a minefield of misunderstanding and the simple act of buying a baguette is fraught with social danger.

But as she navigates the highs and lows of this strange new world, from the sophisticated cafes and haute couture fashion houses to the picture postcard French countryside, little by little Sarah falls under its spell: passionate, mysterious, infuriating, and charged with that French specialty - seduction. And it becomes her home.

I had to read this for my Travel Literature class. It was pretty good, very nice messages. However, I found that while listening to this memoir, I found it difficult to follow at times. At times, I forgot that the narrator and her partner were still together unless she pointed out the fact specifically.
It's good for travel and understanding how cultural differences work, but if you're looking for a romance novel: don't read this one.
