Harriet Welty-Rochefort - Letter From Paris -
Harriet Welty-Rochefort, a bona fide Midwesterner from Iowa, visited Paris for the first time while in college. She became so completely enamored of France that she stayed - and has been there ever since. Married to a Frenchman and the mother of two Franco-American boys, Harriet Welty-Rochefort writes on business, lifestyle and travel for major U.S. publications. Her book - French Toast - is a lighthearted look at French manners and mores. Online orders as well as telephone/fax orders (1-800-387-8992 in the USA only) are possible. It is also available at all major English language bookstores in Paris. Writes Leslie Caron: French Toast includes the most delightful barbs at France's subtle but deep-rooted codes of behaviour...I read the book on the EuroStar between Paris and London and wished the train had not reached its top speed of 300 kph! Harriet can be contacted at 101676.467@compuserve.com.
