A brilliant & vigorous observer of both French & British societies, which she knows intimately, 32-year-old Agnes Catherine Poirier has spent the last ten years explaining the peculiarities of France to the British & of Britain to the French. Not an easy job. Having studied both in Paris & London, writing in both languages for the French & British press, Agnes Catherine Poirier plays with national stereotypes, which are both stupid & dangerous, with dexterity & savoir faire. She goes beneath the surface to explain why France & Britain keep arguing & competing endlessly, why they are so different & why they do things in almost opposite ways. Covering the worlds of art, politics, action, food, institutions, sex, history, media, society & philosophy, she tells us as much about us as why France is a nation apart. Revenge for tabloid attacks on France or for British expats` invasions of Brittany & the Dordogne? You decide. But this will entertain & educate all readers about their own country & whether its `entente` with La Belle France is `cordiale` or not. You may disagree with her but you may never see yourself in the same way again. ...
