What readers say:
Kristin, I absolutely love Words in a French Life! It's the best book I've ever read that covers the French! I've read everything I can get my hands on...I finally realized why I liked yours the best. You are an American trying to fit in and you're young! I always feel the way you do whenever I am in France. I put on my jeans and tennis shoes to go exploring Paris and the concierge at the hotel says, "Vous faites de l'alpinisme aujourd'hui?" I can't wander through the streets in high heels but the beautiful French women do! Thanks for all your hard work! Is there Volume II that I can buy? --Paula Gyllenborg
I already ordered one of your books several weeks ago and have decided to buy several more to use as gifts. Others I know will greatly appreciate your work. ----Ed Byczynski
I received your book yesterday when I returned home from work. Instead of starting dinner, I started reading it. I was having such a nice time reading the book that it was difficult to put it down and start dinner. Thank you for signing the book and for your appreciative words. --Helen Wong
Update: Volume One is now sold out. Selected stories from Volume One can be found in this book:
Words in a French Life: "...a heart-winning collection from an American woman raising two very French children with her French husband in Provence, carrying on a lifelong love affair with the language."
