| | A Year in the Merde
By Stephen Clarke
This is the tale of a Brit living in France for a year. Dry observational humor mark just about every single page of this must read novel. The reader gets to see France through the eyes of a young British guy who moves to France for work, and experience culture shock on just about every level from the food to the women. One would not automatically think two countries so close to each other could be so very different but after reading ‘A year in the merde’ the inherent dissimilarities between the Brits and the French will be boldly underlined while the laughter continues.
