Books with a French theme

Ok, I need some help! It's my turn to pick books for my bookgroup (I pick 3-4 and then everyone votes).

I'm going with a French theme because one person is traveling to France and I had a few books that sort of fit this theme. We don't have to do a theme but now that I have started it seems like a good enough idea.

Here's what I have so far:

Paris to the Moon by Adam Gopnik

My Life in France by Julia Child and Alex Prud'Homme


I was thinking maybe A Year in Provence? If I were choosing books for winter, I'd pick a classic but that doesn't seem to fit with spring and the end of the school year.

A little off-topic...our book group last night was great. I was able to go for one thing and even got there on time. We read Chocolat and the designated dessert-bringer fed us truffles, drinking chocolate, and a chocolate-chambord whipped cream tort thing. And we ate that while watching Johnny Depp in the movie.

I'm no help. Sorry. All I could think of was the movie Sabrina (love it, BTW), and I hoped there was a book it was based on. No such luck. It's based on an even older movie.

Sometimes I would swear I was illiterate.

Le Divorce (William Abrahams Book) by Diane Johnson (Paperback - Jul 1, 2003)

I enjoyed the book and the movie.

Thanks, Luanne.

Heidi -- so funny you mention Sabrina. We were wondering who played her in the movie (it is Julia Ormond). I knew it wasn't Juliette Binoche but could not think of her name.

I really liked Left Bank. Can't recall the author's name right now but she's also a contributor to London Times. Kate something or other I think.

I recently read "Almost French." It's an autobiography written by an Australian journalist who relocates to France. I enjoyed it!
