Dreaming in French by Alice Kaplan
A year in Paris.... Since World War II, countless American students have been lured by that vision - and been transformed by their sojourn in the City of Light. This book tells three stories of that experience, and how it changed the lives of three extraordinary American women.
"A fascinating group portrait of three different women from three different generations whose trajectories nevertheless converge in one surprising yet significant place: ParisIn this lively, original biographie a trois, Alice Kaplan shows how time spent living in the French capital and learning about its culture gave each of these sui generis heroines 'her own ideas of what counted'-and how those ideas in turn became an indelible part of the American political and cultural landscape." -Caroline Weber, author of Queen of Fashion: What marie Antoinette Wore to the Revolution"
Alice Kaplan is the author of French Lessons: A Memoir, The Collaborator: The Trial and Execution of Robert Brasillach, which was a finalist for the National Book Award; and The Interpreter.
