Book Reviews of French Lessons: A Memoir

Book Review: A beautifully crafted memoir about life in two languages.
Summary: 5 Stars

Kaplan has written a beautifully crafted memoir documenting her escape into French and French literature; about the motives for that escape, its difficulties, and the places where it took her, including home again. The childhood memories of loss and lonliness are moving, but equally vital are the accounts of intellectual growing up at Yale and the incredible interview with a fascist apologist.
