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.

Travel or Romance?
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.

Trés Bien!!
The story was delightful to listen to and the narrator was perfect! I loved every minute of this book - the personal reflections mixed with historical info was wonderfully done. I would highly recommend this book, especially to fellow Francophiles!!

A great book
What a wonderful story. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The narration was perfect too. Loved hearing about Paris through the eyes of an Australia.

Loved it
I’ve listened to it three times. Skillfully read. Funny, smart and relatable. I wish her second book was on audible.
