SynopsisA riveting, whimsical, and uproarious account of an American familyrs"s time abroad, French Impressions "will keep readers entertained from start to finish" (Booklist)hellip;One steamy morning in the summer of 1950, Mary and Frank Littell set off for the South of France with their two young sons. After chasing their children around an ancient ocean liner, learning some harsh lessons in napkin etiquette, and suffering the revenge of a surly waiter, they arrived-finally-in the working class town of Montpellier, where they spent one hilarious, unforgettable year. While struggling to master the French language and cuisine, Mary discovered that a childrs"s birthday party spells disaster in any language-and that something as seemingly simple as a mayonnaise recipe can stir up a small-scale civil war. In between bouts of la grippe, the Littells tasted the pleasures of Paris, made a desperate journey to Marseilles, and took a side trip to a quaint country farmhouse-always, in the end, returning to the unique little town that both confounded and delighted them... Includes over a dozen black and white family photos
