Book: French Illusions: My Story as an American Au Pair in the Loire Valley
Location: Loire Valley (Vallée de la Loire)
Author: Linda Kovic-Skow

Review Author: tripfiction

Content

The glorious Loire Valley. This young American arrives in France having withheld the fact she cannot speak French, a stipulation that her host family required. It offers a glimpse of life that not many of us can live. The author has a real gift for describing her environs and the pressures put upon her by the family. If you ever want to be an au pair, take a look at this book, I think it will give you a bit of a heads up!
