There are three semi-short stories that are the main meat of this book. The stories are intertwined by the prologue and the epilogue of three french tutors. The stories involve each of the tutors and their students as they spend a day in Paris together. The French tutors names are Nico, Phillipe, an...
I would like to preface my review with this: I don't love books with gratuitous, descriptive sex scenes; it tends to lower the book's value in my estimation and they are intended for a different kind of audience than my profile. In all of the vignettes there are explicit, vivid sex scenes which see...
I was lucky to receive an ARC of FRENCH LESSONS from a Goodreads contest, and being the sucker that I am for chick lit and France, I was eager to read it. I finally found myself picking it up and jumping in, and the first thing I noticed was the writing style – third person, present tense, and a di...

So cut me some slack.This was a nice, quick summer/beach read about three French tutors and their three American students, teaching and learning about the French language, ...
"French Lessons" is the story of three French tutors and their very different students. Nico's student, Josie, is an American French teacher in mourning. Philippe's student, Riley, is an expatriate housewife who wants more out of life. Chantal's student, Jeremy, is a woodworker whose wife happens...
Delightful exploration of the territory of invisibility. Some of these essays are bemused, some accepting, some glorifying. All of them ring true in some way or another. The standout for me was the final essay, 'Outport Shadows' by Meredith Hall, which talks about the author's mother's battle with M...
