Title: good writing, a clever, sincere view of Paris and the French
Review: I got this book to read on a business trip and it went almost too fast. Sarah has a great style of writing to make the sentences disappear. I'm one of hundreds of poor Americans who love Paris and dream of living there.I wanted to write this review only to point out that her mention of the movie Ridicule is inaccurate in saying it is about Louis XVI's court: it is Louis XIV's court. (a full II Louis's earlier) That is when the cult of the bon mot was developed and became so important in establishing one's position in society.Having visited France a few times, I am grateful for the insights Sarah provides.
