Description: This trade paperback novel is in very good condition. TRAVEL-ROMANCE-FRANCE A laugh-out-loud account of life as a newcomer in one of the most fabled and romantic cities in the world. At the age of twenty-eight, Bryce Corbett was stuck in a dead-end job in London, nursing a broken heart and hungry for some kind - any kind - of change. on a whim he applied for a job in Paris, and before he knew it, found himself witha job offer in hand on his way to the City of Light. So begins Corbett's love affair with Paris - home of l'amour and la vie bohème - and he determines to make the city his own, no matter how many bottle of Bordeaux it takes. he rents an apartment in the trendy neighborhood of Le Marais, happily settles into the French work/life balance (six weeks of paid vacation), braves the local gym (neon spandex mandatory), and fumbles his way through more than a few awkward lessons in French love. From the smoky cafes to the glittering nightlife, Corbett samples everything his newfound culture has to offer, appearing on a French television game show, hobnobbing with celebrities at Cannes, and attempting to parse the amusing nuances behind French politics and why French women really don't get fat. Still, he remains an ex-pat at heart-until he finds himself falling in love with a Paris showgirl, a beauty whose sequin-clad high-kicks are the toast of the Champs Elysées, proving that in a town like Paris, you never know what will happen next...
