You will laugh, you might even get misty-eyed, vous allez l'adorer. An Best Book of September 2016: Lauren Collins was an expat from North Carolina, living in London, when she met and fell in love with the man who would eventually become her husband. Olivier hailed from France (in case the name didn’t give that away), and When in French chronicles Collins’s fascinating and often hilarious journey learning his native tongue. To say that When in French is mainly a meditation on language would be accurate (which I’m sure Olivier would appreciate). We are just as likely to express our extreme ardor for our partners as we are a bag of Cheetos. But that description makes it sound as boring as evidently Geneva is, and this memoir is anything but. For Olivier, this sort of impreciseness was infuriating, which pointed to an important cultural difference that required careful negotiation. --Erin Kodicek, The Book Review. Along the way she discovers that this endeavor isn’t a simple matter of translating “I love you” to “je t'aime,” for exampl

A language barrier is no match for love. Collins grapples with the complexities of the French language, enduring excruciating role-playing games with her classmates at a Swiss language school and accidently telling her mother-in-law that she’s given birth to a coffee machine. Are there things she doesn’t understand about Olivier, having never spoken to him in his native tongue? Does “I love you” even mean the same thing as “je t’aime”? When the couple, newly married, relocates to Francophone Geneva, Collins—fearful of one day becoming "a Borat of a mother" who doesn’t understand her own kids—decides to answer her questions for herself by learning French.
