New Book Launch
NEWS about I Am Finally, Finally French, My Accidental Life in Brittany ~
HARRIET WELTY ROCHEFORT made the full leap, marrying a French man (Philippe), moving to France (Paris and the Loire), raising a family (three boys), and becoming a French citizen. She also wrote three loving, hilarious books about her bicultural life in France, French Toast, French Fried, Joie de Vivre and a World War II novel, Final Transgression, that’s set in southwestern France. This is what she had to say about Finally, Finally…. “Loved the book,” and she wrote,
“With wit and a self-deprecating sense of humor, Mark Greenside has penned a tender, captivating and laugh aloud tale of his Sisyphean struggle to understand the French. If you mangle French, you’ll take comfort in knowing you’re not alone and can survive!”
