According to the website:
“Alice Kaplan beautifully describes the intricate mixture of lust and embarrassment and voyeurism and submission and pride involved in immersing oneself in another language.… This girl’s own story—of a daughter, a spy in the house of French, a teacher and scholar—is imbued with a sense of the multiplicity of identity, and it gracefully tells us what Kaplan says French has taught her: ‘There is more than one way to speak.’”—Lisa Cohen, Voice Literary Supplement
and from their email:
The Christian Science Monitor says that Alice Kaplan’s new book,Dreaming in French, is “the #1 nonfiction book to look out for this spring.” Look for it just below! So, we are delighted to make her much-loved and critically acclaimed memoir, French Lessons our free e-book for April.
