Notes
Description
"A language barrier is no match for love. Lauren Collins discovered this firsthand when, in her early thirties, she moved to London and fell for a Frenchman named Olivier ... But what does it mean to love someone in a second language, Collins wonders, as her relationship with Olivier continues to grow entirely in English. 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"--,Provided by publisher.
