Rezensionen

'Beautifully written, superbly plotted and with a brilliant twist at the end' Daily Mail

'Anyone who enjoyed Laurain's previous novels The President's Hat and The Red Notebook will doubtlessly enjoy this new romp' Portland Book Review

'It has been a long while since I laughed out loud so many times while reading a book. French Rhapsody is the title that had my endorphins dancing a jig' Coastal Breeze News

'What makes French Rhapsody one of the must-reads of the moment is not just its off-the-wall humour, but its deep sense of melancholy. If it wasn't so funny, you'd weep for the roads not taken' Le Figaro

'Once again I had been swamped by Laurain's individual take on the Gallic charm' The Book Bag

'Quirky and nostalgic, hilarious and satirical. A portrait of France as you may not know it!' Words and Peace

'The novel has Laurain's signature charm, but with the added edge of greater engagement with contemporary France' The Sunday Times

'A tale of dashed dreams, lost love and rediscovered hope that is also an incisive state-of-the-nation snapshot' The Lady

'This well-structured dramedy weaves together the destinies of a group of colorful characters and paints a surprising picture of the eighties generation, too cocky to realize that they were being outrun by modernity' The French Embassy in Canada

'Witty, nostalgic [...] I was completely charmed' Woman and Home

'Full of charming one-liners [...] I loved it' Shiny New Books

'This gem blends soft humour and sadness with the extraordinary' Sainsbury's Magazine
