My friend, Danielle sent Alan a book for me to read which she bought to read during one of her trips, “All you need to be Impossibly French” by Helena Faith Powell. It’s a very light and entertaining read — and while it doesn’t give you any life-changing insights, it helps one understand the French, particularly their women. If you know me, you know I’m a francophile, and this is indeed an interesting read. As a result, I have a mental note to myself NOT to bring my sneakers next time. I’m bringing walking shoes. (Read the book and you’ll know what I’m talking about.)
I found the book entertaining as well because I could actually “picture” the places in Paris that they mentioned — so this is one book I could really relate to. It brought me back to a favorite place of mine.
