This is the true story of Catherine falling in love with the French language as a child and deciding to live in France. She spends time in France whilst completing her degree course and then returns to take up a one year teaching post at the Sorbonne Nouvelle.
Whilst in Paris she meets and falls in love with Mr Frog. They live together and after a few years they have a daughter together. By now Catherine is doing a different job, Mr Frog is concentrating on his career and their relationship is falling apart.
Catherine begins to write a blog called Petite Anglaise which she uses as a diary and an outlet to her thoughts and frustrations. Through the blog she meets new friends and gains the confidence to make changes in her life.
This is an interesting story in which Catherine is very honest about her life and feelings. It is very easy to read and if you missed the words 'a true story' on the front of the book, you could well think this was a fictional novel.
