»Almost French

I am adding a widget that shows my current "reading list", thanks to the cheesily-designed website Chain Reading. And I am reading Sarah Turnbull's "Almost French", the satisfying story of an Aussie who implusively moves to Paris for "love and a new life." Everything works out, but slowly, and the travails of French bureaucracy that she related did not make as much of an impression as did the way she ironed out the massive cultural differences with her boyfriend-fiance-husband (there, I spoiled it for you), his friends and family, and builders, neighbours, et al. She also observed some riots, but that's quotidian around Paris now, in'it?
