This debut novel from bilingual author Marsot is a delight for lovers of a good love story, and especially so for the Francophiles amongst us. Anna, has recently ended a relationship in Los Angeles, and retreats to Paris, perhaps the most romantic city on earth. Her dual citizenship and bilingual talents land her a job translating an erotic novel written by a famous French author who chooses to remain anonymous. As she progresses with this work, she falls in love once again. Her French lover not only helps mend her broken heart, but aids in the discovery of her own dual identity in the vastly different cultures of France and America. This is a compelling story of love and self-discovery, and a fascinating exploration of how language reflects, and at the same time, shapes the erotic aspects of a culture. Be prepared for a first-class romance and a delicate, sophisticated exploration of one woman’s journey on the road to understanding herself. But also be prepared; you will learn phrases here that you never encountered in your high school French class! Jeff K. |
