In her best-selling books "French or Foe?" and "Savoir Flair!," Polly Platt handed foreigners the keys to delighting in a visit to France and handling encounters with the French. In "Love a la francaise," she delves into the intimate lives of Anglo-Saxons who actually lived the dream and moved to Paris - fo good, for better or worse - as wives of French men. Why? To live in the city that celebrates women, where they could discover the meaning of being women, and being completely themselves, whoever they might turn out to be. But French men with their thousand-year experience in enchanting French women are not always in tune with Anglo-Saxons and vice versa. Why do some American women in Paris fail while others bloom and thrive? And how do happy transpalnts manage their success? After dozens of interviews and in-depth case studies, Polly Platt reveals the secrets of Love a la francaise.
