Non-Fiction Pick of the Week: Petite Anglaise
Petite Anglaise: a true story by Catherine Sanderson 2008
Chick lit lovers will enjoy this light and frank true story of a thirty-something British woman living in Paris. Catherine uses her blog “Petite Anglaise” to reach out to the blogging community in Paris and to try and sort out life’s ups and downs. Her writing style and tone remind me of the book Eat, Pray, Love.
What I liked about Petite Anglaise is her endearing descriptions of life in Paris and her amusing portrayal of French customs. I enjoyed getting to know Sanderson’s boyfriend Mr. Frog and her enchanting little daughter, Tadpole. I enjoyed how she incorporated the appeal of chick lit romance and relationships into true life drama.

It sounds like a lovely story! It's hard to believe that it isn't chick lit. I'll have to remember to add it to my list of books to get to in the summer.
