Review
'Fascinating...gripping...extremely funny...A desperately needed corrective to received wisdom about child-rearing and what having children is supposed to do to a woman's sense of self. I loved it. It made me want to move to Paris.' --India Knight, Sunday Times
'Self-deprecating, witty, informative...But however much she admires "the easy, calm authority" French parents seem to posess, will Druckerman manage it herself? Her efforts to do so add a compelling narrative to this fascinating study of French parenting.' --Michele Hanson, Guardian
'I couldn't put it down! Smart, funny, provocative, and genuinely eye-opening.' --Amy Chua, author of 'Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother'
'In engaging story-telling prose, Druckerman describes a French scoiety of good little sleepers, gourmet eaters, and relaxed parents.'
--Mireille Guiliano, author of 'French Women Don't Get Fat'
'Pamela Druckerman is a charming narrator...she has produced an important guide to staying calm, and if half of what she says about anglophone parents is true, her book should be dispensed on prescription.'
--Spectator
