Good. Book Octovo, softcover, good in white pictorial wraps. Like Jane Austen, Johnson steps out of the frame to anatomize her characters with sudden insight. Then creeps back in to record their inappropriate thoughts and their consternation at having them.309 pages. National Book Award nominee.

I never quite clicked with this book. The author fails to establish a consistent tone-- it starts off as an apparent comedy of manners (great culture clash premise: Isabel Walker, young California film-school drop-out heads to Paris to help pregnant sister who's French husband has just ditched her), but then nothing comedic happens. On the contrary, as the book progresses, with various sub-plots woven through (including Isabel's truly repellent affair with an elderly uncle of her brother-in-law), Ms. Johnson comes up with ever more preposterous (and unpleasant) scenarios until the book ends with Isabel supposedly gaining a modicum of maturity (although all the characters seem so entitled and self-absorbed, who really cares?) What kept me reading were the delicious nuggets of French culture and language throughout the book. It may be worth it if you're a real Francophile.
