In the Merde for Love

Více o knize

<b>The sequel to the international bestseller <i>A Year in the Merde</i> continues the hilarious saga of Paul West's misadventures in <i>l'amour </i><i>(</i>this title was originally published as <i>Merde, Actually</i> in the UK<i>)</i><i>.</i> </b> The latest episode in Stephen Clarke's almost-true account of his adventures as an expat in France is just as delightful as the original--and already a #1 bestseller in the UK. A year after arriving in France, Englishman Paul West is still struggling with some questions. What is the best way to scare a <i>gendarme</i>? Why are there no health warnings on French nudist beaches? Is it really polite to sleep with your boss's mistress? And how do you cope with a plague of ripe garden vegetables? Paul discovers how to judge a French vacationer by the rustiness of his bicycle; opens his English tea room and finally understands why Parisian waiters are so cranky; and, on a return visit to the UK, sees the full horror of a British office party through Parisian eyes. Meanwhile, he continues his search for the perfect French mademoiselle. Will Paul find <i>l'amour �ternel</i>, or will it all end in merde?
