Title: 10 kilos!
Review: If you are badly dressed or look shabby, the French will not take you seriously. This is something every Anglo-Saxon supervisor working in France should take to heart, as 'not taking care of oneself' implies lack of intellectual rigor and self-respect, resulting in an immediate loss of authority.This is why Frith Powell's book is an illuminating -as well as funny and provocative - reading that will be useful to anyone interested in (even remote) contacts with French women. "What is the difference between English and French women?", asks the author one of her expat friends. His reply: "10 kilos!" This book discusses in entertaining detail the diet, dressing habits (with inordinate focus on lingerie), marital practices, child rearing etc., in France. Understandably, the author is almost exclusively concerned with Parisian women, who stand apart from the rest of the country and consequently are universally loathed. They of course are also great company.Can't miss with this book.
