"Lunch in Paris: A Love Story with Recipes" by Elizabeth Bard
I wasn't sure about this book when I first picked it up and but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. "Lunch in Paris" is the story of an American woman, Elizabeth Bard, that meets and falls in love with a Frenchman. This is her story of leaving the States behind to begin her new life in Paris with the man that she loves.
Elizabeth Bard's has such a great sense of humor in this story that it's hard not to fall in love with her. There are moments she seems to have it all together and then everything falls apart in humorous fashion. She has the sarcastic, goal-driven qualitites of a New Yorker mixed in with the laid-back, family focused French way of life that makes easy to like.
This book really makes you want to run to another country. To learn other cultures and ways of life. To jump into the unknown territory and fight the urge to run whenever a challenge presents itself. To realize that nothing is impossible if you have an amazing support system.
I really enjoyed this book and I hope you will, too!
