This novel is quite disappointing: the style is flat, the story lacks consistency and depth of character. Above all, it is full of clichés about the French. I admit that we are not a people very welcoming nor very polite, but then to make us pathological gossips ... Those who live in small villages are downright arrears that have never seen anyone jogging or a man wearing a ponytail ... A small example, for fun, "She took you for a snob because you bought a washing machine They believe that you should wash your clothes by hand, that only mothers should have washing machines.." Ah yes, I forgot to mention that it's happening today, not in the 50 ... You had got used to better, Tracy!
