"Throwing yourself around a room being a Camembert cheese" is a very good line. Proper good novel. Go read it, you will not regret it. Could have been an Eat, Pray, Love. But it was not!
The successful author's clear and vivid goals are realised with creative freedom and an understanding of higher depth than most people would know. Funny, good-natured and a realistic portrayal of one of the greatest cities on earth. Jayne Tuttle's adventure through Paris is a good read.
