"This Isn't like me. I'm not the sort of girl who crosses continents to meet up with a man she hardly knows, Paris hadn't even been part of my travel plan...'
One night in Bucharest, a chance meeting with a charming Frenchman changes journalist Sarah Turnbull's travel plans forever. Acting on impulse, she agrees to visit Frèdèric for a week in Paris, a city Sarah thinks she knows well. That is, until she falls in love...
Put a very French Frenchman together with a strong-willed Australian girl and the result is some spectacular - and often hilarious - cultural clashes. Sarah's clothes, her laugh, her conversation -even how much she drinks -set her apart. Language is a minefield of misunderstanding and the simple act of buying a baguette at the local boulangerie is fraught with social danger.
But as she navigates the high, and lows of this strange new world, from life in bustling inner city quartier and surviving parisian dinner parties to covering the haute couture fashion shows and discovering the hard way the paradoxes of france today, little by little Sarah falls under it's spell: maddening, mysterious and charged with that French specialty - sèduction.
Funny perceptive and poignant, Almost French is the story of an adventurous heart, a magical city - and Finding Love.

What If I Never Get Over You
When Milk heads to Paris for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, she expects a break from hospital shifts, a little self-discovery, and lots of wine-fueled laughs with her flamboyant best friend, Ri. What she doesn't expect is a message from Love-the girl who stole her first kiss, her heart, and left an unfillable space in her life years ago. Now, with Valentine's Day around the corner, the City of Love seems determined to work its magic. Love is no longer the carefree girl Milk remembers but a dazzling star of Paris's arts scene, while Milk is still figuring out her place in the world. As they reconnect, old memories and unresolved feelings bubble to the surface. Can they rediscover their spark in the most romantic city on earth, or will their Parisian rendezvous remain just another fleeting dream? Set against the vibrant, romantic backdrop of Paris, What If I Never Get Over You is a tender story about the magic of first love, the courage to chase what feels impossible, and the serendipity of finding true love-on Valentine's Day, no less.
Good luck homing pigeon
"Once upon a time, my entire world seemed like a dream. It was no wonder they called Paris the city of love; because sometimes, you just couldn't help but love it. No matter how much it rejected, betrayed, and turned us away, I would always love Paris the way I remembered it. Before it was stolen from us." Kate was grateful she got to have one good birthday. One, last good memory before it all happened. Before the German soldiers performed one of the biggest round-ups, known to World war two. Before nearly forty thousand Jews were deported from Paris. Before Kate, and her family were kicked out of their own city, their own country, and shipped to one of the most notorious concentration camps in Poland. Despite their ill luck, Kate remains forever hopeful. But even the hopeful aren't entirely naïve. Ever since she was a child, Kate has always wanted to be a hero. One of the heroines in her stories, to be specific. But what she doesn't know yet is that she is destined to become part of something bigger. With a boy she gradually realises she's in love with, and newfound friends in unexpected places, can Kate set out to save those she loves and more? Or will her decisions render the lives of not only thousands, but her own?Concluída
Chronicles of becoming
In her thirties, she walked away from a life that felt like it was closing in-leaving behind the familiar streets of Europe, a routine love, and the safety of everything she knew. Drawn by the promise of something greater, something electric, she chose New York. A city of endless lights, endless possibilities, and endless illusions. But instead of finding herself, she found emptiness. Nights blurred into fleeting encounters, brief touches that never lingered, and hollow moments disguised as connection. Beneath the vibrant pulse of the city, she felt nothing. No love, no fire, no sense of belonging-just a growing void. These are her chronicles-a raw and intimate journey of a woman lost between who she was and who she thought she could become. It's a story of longing, of chasing meaning in a world that offers only illusions, and of coming to terms with a brutal truth: sometimes, before you can find yourself, you have to confront the emptiness inside.
