Petite Anglaise - Catherine Sanderson

















Petite Anglaise - Catherine Sanderson (2008)

Catherine is an English girl who has a fascination with things French, and escapes to live in Paris.  There she meets a boy who becomes Mr Frog, and together they have a small daughter Tadpole.  After a couple of years they realise that they are not as happy as they once were and Catherine makes contact with one of the fans of her blog.  This forces her to reavaluate her relationship, and life changes.  However her new fella ends up promising a lot and not quite delivering it all.

Does that give it all away?  Billed as a memoir, and even though she is a good writer it does come across a bit as chick lit  and I could see the ending coming a mile away.  I'm going to sit on the fence and give it a 2.5/5.
