Book Reviews of My French Life
Book Review: My French Life
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is delightful. I am thoroughly enjoying it and would recommend it to anyone who has or will spend time in France, particularly in Paris.Book Review: Fabulously Entertaining
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was a fabulous book to read, totally different to the usual run of the mill 'living in France' type book on the market. I gave a 5 star rating because to entertain me, an avid non fiction reader for over half a century, is very difficult. Yet this book did entertain me, and delighted me, and made me want it to never end. Congratulations Vicki Archer, your artistic gift for writing, for making the reader feel they are living there with you took my breath away. When is your next book due out? Book Review: OOH LA LA
Summary: 5 Stars
Interesting book packed with gorgeous photos about French life. The photography is what stands out in this book thanks to the very talented photographer Carla Coulson. My favorite photo is the Christmas decorations at the Place Vendome. The pictures are so large and bold that you almost feel that you can step inside them and immerse yourself. The cover is different as it is actually padded and the pages throughout have beautiful design work. Highly recommended to any Francophile! Book Review: Beau livre
Summary: 5 Stars
This book took me on a journey to France. It is beautifully illustrated with colorful photographs that capture Parisian life.
The author is an Aussie that moves to France and discovers its wonder. Many different facets of French life are covered, the countryside, food and champagne, art and the well known French eye for fashion.
An added treat is the author's French inspirations which include he favorite books, films, music etc. And her French address book, a great resource for the traveler in France.
Book Review: Ahh, France
Summary: 5 Stars
I just returned from two weeks in Paris. As I was dreamily describing my adventure, someone asked, "Have you read My French Life?" I thought, just another book about I bought a house in France (or Italy) and this is how I dealt with the locals fixing it up, but this book is different. First of all it is so tastefully decorated, from its padded cover to its lovely photographs. In other words, so artistically French! I found myself reading it quickly when I opened it, and then I thought, slow down and savor this like an afternoon in a cafe. I buy a lot of books, read them and then pass them on, but this one I will keep to dip into over and over when I need a boost of French art, civility, and culture.
