What is France, A Love Story: Women Write about the French Experience about?

What is it about France that so captivates the imagination? For many Americans, a love of France and all things French started in school, while mastering the seductive sounds of the language. Others were fascinated by the idea of Franceâs exalted culture; for them, it represented above all a different way of life, filled with luxe, calme et volupté. Later on, when they made summer trips or settled there, they came to appreciate how fully the French character resounded with their own sensibilities. <p>In this poignant collection, twenty-five contemporary women writers share their firsthand experiences with the people, landscape, flavors, history, art, culture, and particular joie de vivre of this enchanted land.

The voices represented in <i>France, a Love Story</i> are varied, witty, and inimitable. They include, among others, M.F.K Fisherâs colorful description of her first days in Dijon, Ayun Hallidayâs irreverent account of her visit to a Parisian fashion show, and Alice Kaplanâs funny and sexy story of a summer fling with a young French
