French Toast: An American in Paris Celebrates the Maddening Mysteries of the French, by Harriet Welty Rochefort - writes from the wise perspective of one who has spent more than twenty years living among the French. She makes sense of their ever-so-French thoughts on food, money, sex, love, marriage, manners, schools, style, and much more. Her first-person account offers both a helpful reality check and a lot of very funny moments. Buy it!
