French Lessons by Ellen Sussman
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.
