When Alison Ryan's husband broke the news that he was being
transferred to the United States embassy in Paris, the French
teacher and lifelong Francophile was estatic. A year later with
their young daughter in tow, the couple moved into an apartment
near the Champs-Elysees, just as autumn was settling over the city.
Paris with Kids is her memoir of the five years she spent as an
American mom in Paris, an outsider with a front-row seat at the
social theater of Parisian high society. Compared with the decidely
laissez-faire attitude of the Parisians, Ryan's American
sensibilities are often downright prudish. But thanks to her
innaate curiosity, her robust sense of humor, and her deep, genuine
affection for the French language and culture, Paris with Kids
translates into a thoughtful, humorous portrait of French life.
