In honor of Bastille Day tomorrow, I'm giving away a trade paper galley of this little book. I've only just begun reading it myself, but I'm finding it to be charming. In a recent review, EW gave it a B+ and wrote:
Imagine the film
Before Sunrise with three times the
participants and a bit less subtlety,
and you get the gist of Sussman's sexy travelogue French Lessons. Three couples, each composed of a hot young French tutor and an attractive, emotionally bruised American student, spend a day strolling, café-ing, and conjugating through the streets of Paris. And since they're in the City of Love, chatting in the language of love, secrets of the heart are revealed and beds are fallen into. Sussman certainly knows her way around a boudoir scene — and when those boudoirs are in Paris, well, you end up with some sizzling escapist reading.

bon chance!
I could use a vicarious vacay in Paris. Sign me up!
ReplyDeleteOh, this is very sad. I haven't had the time to read and review the novel, which is good fun by all accounts. I didn't do this giveaway justice, somehow. I thought it would be a hit.
ReplyDeleteSo, here's what I'm going to do, SL. Jon's off to Paris in September/October. He really wants to read this, so I will let him. After that, I'll bring it to you in November. Sound like a good plan?
