Thank you to Sue Grimshaw and Random House for sending me this book. Synopsis: Eloisa and her family which includes her husband Alessandro and their two children Luca and Anna decide to move to Paris for a year.    Alessandro takes a sabbatical from his work as a college professor and is Italian.    He has family in Italy so they go off to visit them first and then make the drive to Paris.   This journey is narrated by Eloisa James. Eloisa narrates the story of that year through essays on fashion and French food to short snippets throughout each chapter.    You get a picture of what it is like to live in Paris with children.   She is also very descriptive of the beautiful setting of the city and the many activities to do.   My Thoughts: This book discussed a couple of my favorite topics one being anything French and the other fashion.   I thought that the book would appeal to me for those reasons.   I was a little disappointed with this book.   I had a hard time
