Almost French

Almost French is the captivating true story of a lively young woman who embarks on an unexpected adventure—and finds love—in Paris. “This isn’t like me. I’m not the type to cross continents to meet a man I barely know. Paris wasn’t even on my itinerary...” This fresh and witty travel memoir follows Sarah Turnbull’s brief visit to Paris, sparked by a chance meeting with Frédéric in Bucharest. Trading Vegemite for vichyssoise, Sarah, a spirited Sydney journalist, tries to blend in despite her obvious foreignness. Through culture clashes, Parisian dinner parties, fashion shows, and the complexities of modern France, Sarah gradually falls under the city’s enchanting spell. Almost French is a delightful story of feeling out of place while discovering a city and culture that capture the heart.
