About the Book

A single day in Paris changes the lives of three Americans as they each set off to explore the city with a French tutor, learning about language, love, and loss as their lives intersect in surprising ways. Josie, Riley, and Jeremy have come to the City of Light for different reasons: Josie, a young high school teacher, arrives in hopes of healing a broken heart. Riley, a spirited but lonely expat housewife, struggles to feel connected to her husband and her new country. And Jeremy, the reserved husband of a renowned actress, is accompanying his wife on a film shoot, yet he feels distant from her world. As they meet with their tutors--Josie with Nico, a sensitive poet; Riley with Phillippe, a shameless flirt; and Jeremy with the consummately beautiful Chantal--each succumbs to unexpected passion and unpredictable adventures. Yet as they traverse Paris's grand boulevards and intimate, winding streets, they uncover surprising secrets about one another--and come to understand long-buried truths about themselves. "From the Trade Paperback edition."

Review :
"[A] luscious novel of love and longing . . . the narrative feelslight as a glass of rose at an outdoor cafe, but its insightscarry the richness of a Burgundy." --People (four stars) "[A] sexy travelogue . . . sizzling escapist reading."--Entertainment Weekly "As inviting as the smell of freshly baked croissants wafting from a Parisian cafe, this is a novel to savor."--Ann Packer, author of "The Dive from Clausen's Pier" "Touching, thoughtful, hilarious, and exquisite in its observations, "French Lessons"--Ellen Sussman's day in Paris with a wonderful collection of characters--is a treat. . . . Tres charmant!"--Meg Waite Clayton, author of "The Four Ms. Bradwells" "Charming, romantic, and brimming with Sussman's trademark joie de vivre, "French Lessons" is a novel to savor."--Amanda Eyre Ward, author of "Close Your Eyes" "What a delicious read! With sexual tension that crackles on the page, I truly couldn't put down this literary page-turner. Book clubs: bust out your calendars. This novel's going on your list." --Lolly Winston, author of "Good Grief " "Elegant and evocative...Sussman has created wonderful characters who take us through the city as they discover hidden places, including those in their own hearts." --Luanne Rice "In "French Lessons," Ellen Sussman has created an erotic, emotionally charged novel spanning two continents. The intriguing cast of characters, whose lives are intertwined by a common love for the world's most beautiful language, make delicious reading from the first page to the last." -- Michelle Richmond "[An] evocative escape to the City of Love." --Kirkus "Three Americans explore Paris alongside their attractive French tutors and find themselves caught up in a delightful day of desire in Sussman's second novel... Sussman keeps things fresh with a strong supporting cast and some unexpected insights into the characters' pasts, embracing a soupcon of mystery to go with the scenic strolls and flights of passion." - Publishers Weekly "My favorite novels succeed in delivering life's best pleasures: making a new friend (the unexpected delight in encountering a sensibility both sly and sweet), being handed a surprise vacation (the joy of an exotic and stunning landscape), and, most exciting of all, finding oneself in the thrall of an intoxicating flirtation. "French Lessons" is just such a book." -- Antonya Nelson "From the Trade Paperback edition."
