A now very dated account of the author's experiences in marrying a Frenchman and moving from the USA to France. Told from the point of view of an American movie star who moves about in the rarefied atmosphere of upper French society. Not much is applicable to us ordinary folk. Contains a few mildly amusing anecdotes about the differences in cultures, told in a somewhat stilted language. Nevertheless, a not wholly unworthwhile read. An annoyance was the tiny print necessitated by the shrunken book size, no doubt to save on the cost of materials.

Not de Havilland's autobiography, but rather an account of her adjusting to life in France and the customs of the French.

The book covers her time in Paris during the 1950s. She is very witty and the book made me laugh!
