Why France and Britain are so different, and why they do things in opposite
ways.
A brilliant and vigorous observer of both French and British societies, which
she knows intimately, 32-year-old Agnes Catherine Poirier has spent the last
ten years explaining the peculiarities of France to the British and of Britain
to the French. Not an easy job.
Having studied both in Paris and London, writing in both languages for the
French and British press, Agnes Catherine Poirier plays with national
stereotypes, which are both stupid and dangerous, with dexterity and savoir
faire. She goes beneath the surface to explain why France and Britain keep
arguing and competing endlessly, why they are so different and why they do
things in almost opposite ways.
Covering the worlds of art, politics, action, food, institutions, sex,
history, media, society and philosophy, she tells us as much about us as why
France is a nation apart.
Revenge for tabloid attacks on France or for British expats' invasions of
Brittany and the Dordogne? You decide. But this will entertain and educate all
readers about their own country and whether its 'entente' with La Belle France
is 'cordiale' or not.
You may disagree with her but you may never see yourself in the same way
again.
