Going In Seine - An Apartment in Paris? A Crazy Idea! (Paperback)

Polly Fielding has no idea what she is letting herself in for when, on impulse, she decides to blow her savings on a tiny apartment in Paris. She views it as an exciting adventure until, having paid the deposit, she comes face to face with reality. Struggling to use her rudimentary grasp of French, she tries to cope with a situation rapidly spirally out of her control. She desperately grapples with Parisian culture and the infamous French bureaucracy in her attempts to settle into what is at first an alien environment. Through trial and error (mainly error) she discovers the utmost importance of always observing French etiquette in shops, on public transport, in everyday life... We are introduced to a randy Italian plumber, a drunken French electrician, the Parisian from hell, Polly's all-too-English husband and their wayward daughter, not to mention the best and worst of Parisian toilets. Polly's passion for everything French and her bewilderment at the variety of ways in which the French differ from their British neighbours are very evident. Meanwhile, at the centre of everything is the 30 square metre apartment that Polly finally tranforms from a semi-derelict shell into a homely, peaceful oasis. Even if you are familiar with Paris you will enjoy an alternative view of this amazing city, whilst anyone who hasn't yet seen it will find themselves rushing to buy Eurostar tickets. And as for the title, read on to find out why it's more than just a corny pun... Fielding's affection for Paris and all things French shine through and make for a thoroughly enjoyable read.
