Book Review – Rafferty’s Rules by W.Sarah is a global marketing expert with over 30 years’ experience of working in industry and knowledge transfer. Book Review – Hunter’s Blood by Jere Cunningham. Book Review – People Skills by Robert Bolton. Vicariously you experience what it is like to live in the City of Lights. Finally, she adopted a dog and hid the cost (over 900 Euros) from Frederic because she “had to have it.” On the whole, Turnbull is likable, but perhaps she is not the easiest person.Īlmost French offers readers the best sort of armchair travel – you go to Paris with an entertaining guide. Also, she disliked that fact that – in French fashion – Frederic frequently visited his father on weekends again, she complained until he agreed that she did not have to go with him. Soon after moving in with Frederic, she started complaining about his boring home in Paris’ suburbs and kept complaining until he agreed to move into the city. Turnbull reveals that she can be quite demanding. There are a few aspects of the book that make the reader wonder. Parisians hold that a person who goes out sloppily attired detracts from the ambience of their city. One of the more interesting involves clothing (particularly given Americans’ increasingly-casual dress). Turnbull provides vivid descriptions of her immersion in French culture. The French adore the arts, fashion, food, and all of the finer things in life. To be sure, there are many compensations for living in Paris. 
The reader sympathizes with Turnbull as she tries to “make her way” in a world unlike any she has ever known. Moreover, at one dinner party she commits a grievous faux pas when she attempts to converse with some attendees at a dinner before she has been introduced. They are very formal dinners always involve the same courses served in the same order. One of the hardest things for Turnbull to understand is how Parisians entertain. For Turnbull, learning the Parisian social system involves a steep learning curve. French people outside The City of Lights often view Parisians the way Americans outside New York City view New Yorkers – hip, cool, and urbane, but also pretentious, rude, and stuck on themselves. The reader quickly learns that there is France – and then there is Paris. She shares her story in the excellent book Almost French. It sounds like a romance novel, but it actually happened to Australian Sarah Turnbull. Review: You meet an attractive French person and soon move to Paris to begin a new life. Almost French is a terrific account of her real-life adventure. Throwing caution to the wind, she moved in with him in Paris.
Summary: Australian Sarah Turnbull met a handsome Frenchman named Frederic. Almost French: Love and a New Life in Paris
