Book Description
Bestselling writer Suzy Gershman (dubbed “Super Shopper Suzy” by Oprah) is our answer to Peter Mayle in this heartfelt, breezy, and funny story of starting over in Paris. Suzy had always fantasized about moving to Paris with her husband, but when he dies unexpectedly, she decides to fulfill their dream alone. Here she gives a deliciously conversational chronicle of her first year in Paris and of the dizzying delights and maddening frustrations of learning to be a Parisian. Filled with Gershman's insider's tips on everything from cooking the perfect clafoutis to—naturally— shopping, C'est la Vie is delightfully entertaining and captures the exhilarating experience of beginning a new adventure.
“Anyone who has dreamed of going to live in Paris, or who has faced a devastating loss, or wonders about sex with a Frenchman, will love Suzy Gershman's inspiring story.”
—Diane Johnson, author of Le Divorce

C'est La Vie.......2007-08-27
For readers who are looking for a book that gives the nuts and bolts of moving to Paris served up with humor and pathos, this is it! Already a well-known writer and a person with international connections, she is not
your average housewife moving overseas since her network of friends keeps her with constant invitations to various functions, thus her move was made
far easier because of that. But she faces enough of the daily chores of
living that the narrative is kept plausible enough for the average person to relate to the hardships involved in moving overseas, even to a city like Paris. Very enlightening about everyday life in the city.
The Princess Diary.......2007-07-31
I'm a sucker for the move-to-Paris (Provence, Tuscany, Spain, etc.) genre, with one caveat. I like the stories where the writer has actually moved to Paris or wherever, and is not just buying a summer home expecting to become a native. In other words, I liked A Year in Provence, and was not so fond of Under the Tuscan Sun.
In C'est la Vie, Suzy Gershman has indeed sold her house in the States and moved to Paris. She is newly widowed, which adds a different twist to this story. Gershman tells how she managed to get an apartment and furniture, how she dealt with the French bureaucaracy without speaking much French, how she coped with losing her husband, and how she got back into the dating game. She keeps an upbeat attitude in spite of all the obstacles and becomes, as an acquaintance tells her, "almost French."
C'est la Vie has everything going for it, and yet, I feel as if I should have enjoyed it more than I did. I was not aware of Gershman's Born to Shop series of books, so was a bit perplexed by the frequent and detailed shopping interludes. Apparently, she is also a celebrity of sorts, so she does a bit of name-dropping. She doesn't flinch at popping for regular trips to London to have her hair and nails done, so she isn't exactly a budget traveler.
C'est la Vie reads more like a fantasy than like a travel memoir. I guess I was expecting to identify with Gershman, but the affair with the wealthy Count, the New Year's Eve assignation with a handsome Italian at the Ritz, the purchase of a summer home in Provence, made it a wee bit difficult to connect with Suzy.
Although I did enjoy C'est la Vie, I also recommend Almost French by Sarah Turnbull. It's written by an Australian journalist who travels to Paris, falls in love with a French man, and stays. Somehow, I found her story much more real.
I am underwhelmed and I just returned from Paris.......2007-03-12
Having just returned to the States from two weeks in Paris, France, I picked up this book half-priced here
on the west coast. I wanted so much to like it...but I am disappointed. This book was published by Penguin no less, and the writing is tacky and the thinking shallow. I did not know that Suzy
Gershman is the Born to Shop series author, which kind of explains the fact that she goes on endlessly about her shopping sprees, which become very boring. She seems to have so little knowledge of French history, art, and literature, that her idea of "being French" is eating at the right cafes and sleeping with an ancient French man. I am almost at the end of the book, and there has been no mention of the fabulous paintings and sculpture of Paris, as well as the museums and wonderful ethnic diversity (we went to a terrific Asian-French cafe right off the Champs Elysees, for instance). Despite her great connections, I feel a bit sorry for Suzy. She is very revealing about her personal life, and at times even I had to laugh at some of her silly antics, but she is not a very good writer, just a good schmoozer. You still might want to read the book if you want something kinda trashy to read in your bubble bath or whatever. I was amused by her cooking instant brownies and serving them to the French. I wonder what they think of her! It's a bit horrifying to think that she may be their idea of a typical American.
Enjoyed very much.......2007-02-04
I loved this book, wish it would have gone on and on. I am "into" French stuff right now so I found the book very intersting and very fun and very fast read.
C'est La Vie: An American Woman Begins a New Life in Paris.......2007-01-19
This book is a reality check. It's hard to read because it isn't all "hearts & flowers" about Paris and France. She had a hard time and details her struggles. But go to the finish. You'll be so glad you did!
There is so much good information but I also found it fun to follow her adaptation to the French culture.
This is a great book to give someone who is thinking about moving to France; Paris in particular. They might have a chance of having all the paperwork it will take to rent an apartment!

Book Description
"Not only for readers who share [Santiago's] experiences but for North Americans who seek to understand what it means to be the other."--The Boston Globe
In her new memoir, the acclaimed author of
When I Was Puerto Rican continues the riveting chronicle of her emergence from the barrios of Brooklyn to the theaters of Manhattan.
"Negi," as Santiago's family affectionately calls her, leaves rural Macún in 1961 to live in a three-room tenement apartment with seven young siblings, an inquisitive grandmother, and a strict mother who won't allow her to date. At thirteen, Negi yearns for her own bed, privacy, and a life with her father, who remains in Puerto Rico. Translating for Mami at the welfare office in the morning, starring as Cleopatra at New York's prestigious Performing Arts High School in the afternoons, and dancing salsa all night, she yearns to find balance between being American and being Puerto Rican. When Negi defies her mother by going on a series of hilarious dates, she finds that independence brings its own set of challenges.
At once a universally poignant coming-of-age tale and a brave and heartfelt immigrant's story,
Almost a Woman is Santiago's triumphant journey into womanhood.
"A universal tale familiar to thousands of immigrants to this country, but made special by Santiago's simplicity and honesty."
--The Miami Herald
"A courageous memoir. . . . One witnesses. . .the blessings, contradictions and restraints of Puerto Rican culture."
--The Washington Post Book World
Customer Reviews:
A human becoming.......2006-12-10
"Almost a Woman" = The title reminds me of the fact that we are all incomplete. There is no such thing as a perfect human being. Those in the stage of adolescence are painfully aware of the fact that they have a long way to go. This book reminds me of the fact that we should call ourselves human becomings, since our story will not be finished until the day we die.
A Must Read'er !!!.......2006-06-13
I think that Almost A Woman is such an inspirational book. I believe that every woman and girl child and / or adult should read and purchase this book. When I read this book it made me happy, buts ad at the same time. This book makes me want to be the best I can be and it will make you feel the same wayJ !!!
powerful sequel to "When I Was Puerto Rican".......2005-10-27
I suggest that you read the prequel to this book, "When I Was Puerto Rican," simply for transition into the life of Esmeralda Santiago. Santiago, a woman who came from a desolate background in Puerto Rico, arrived in the United States with her mother ("Mami") and her numerous younger brothers and sisters. As the book evolves, the household grows, as the family must move from house to house, and utilize the welfare system to make ends meet. Esmeralda ("Negi") is the oldest of ten brothers and sisters, must help care for them, balance work, school and her aspirations as a young actress, all the while, translating for her mother at the welfare office. How this young woman managed to balance all of these factors, and triumph, is a true inspiration to readers, young and old. We also get a real sense of her bicultural struggle, to assimilate into U.S. culture, while maintaining ties to her Puerto Rican heritage, and an ethnic "other" (neither black, nor white, but brown).
What is especially compelling about the style of this sequel, is that we get a sense of Esmeralda Santiago's conflict as a young woman, as a daughter and as an aspiring artist, looking for an outlet for her gift as an actress. Though, she was not allowed to date until the age of seventeen, and continued to live at home until the age of twenty-one, this did not stop her from embarking in love affairs that taught her about life and herself. This is truly a part of coming of age that we all can relate to, and will touch readers from all backgrounds. I really reccomend this novel...You won't be disappointed.
Almost A Woman.......2005-08-12
I found this book interesting, however I liked her first book better. This book felt like it was written with little emotion and when I read the back of the book Ms. Santiago revealed that at times the memoirs were emotional for her, I was surprised. I can see how they would be, it just isn't written in a way you can feel her emotions.
I wasn't even sure what she meant by the last sentence.
Great Book!!!.......2005-06-17
Its amazing how one book can change your life. You sometimes feel like you can't relate to it but it just takes your breath away. The book "Almost a Woman", really took my breath away. Since I am Hispanic I can relate how a Hispanic mother or father can be with their daughters, especially if they are the oldest. In the story, she discovers herself trying to find what she really wants. Trying to please her mother, she sometimes goes against her mother's wishes. Esmeralda's mother knows what's best for her and doesn't want her to end up like a pregnant girl at age fifteen or dropping out of high school. Her mother wants her to succeed in life and support herself and her family.
I really liked the dialogue because I understood the words in Spanish. What really stood out for me when they would talk were the responses they would have. I sometimes knew what they would say because of the similar responses between a child and a parent. Sometimes you know what a parent might say to a child because most Hispanic parents are the same.
I loved all the character and all the men she met. There were a lot of guys that came in and out of her life. She wasn't being picky; she was just meeting them as they come. I especially loved the grandmother. She reminds me of that lady on "The George Lopez Show." All the children were great, even though they are not mentioned a lot. They are only mention when something big happens to Esmeralda.
This memoir made me realize that family is the only people in your life that you need. They are the key to your life. You don't need a man to tell you what to do, what to wear, who you can or can't see, etc. You should never have to choose between a parent and your lover. I've been through that experience and it was hard but I still say today that I'm glad I chose what was best for me and my family. Sometimes I feel like her wanting to have the freedom to be on my own and live on my own two feet but parents always come in the way of things. When reading it, it made me realize a lot of things when I had my first boyfriend. None less to say, I was dumb and naive back then. Now, I am almost a woman trying to make it in the world.
Book Description
In 1996, a small Irish press approached Nuala O'Faolain, then a writer for The Irish Times, to publish a collection of her opinion columns. She offered to compose an introduction for the volume, and that undertaking blossomed into an "accidental memoir of a Dublin woman" and a book called Are You Somebody? that was published around the world and embraced so wholeheartedly in the U.S. that it reached the number-one position on the New York Times bestseller list and launched Nuala O'Faolain on a new career.
Hailed universally for her unflinching eye ("A beautiful exploration of human loneliness and happiness, of contentment and longing."-Alice McDermott, The Washington Post Book World); her wisdom ("A remarkable memoir, poignant, truthful, and imparting that quiet wisdom which suffering brings."-Edna O'Brien); and her boldness ("An immensely courageous undertaking."-The Irish Times), Are You Somebody? took readers from O'Faolain's harrowing childhood, through decades defined by passion and a ferocious hunger for experience, to a middle age notable for its unbroken solitude and longing. The success of the book's publication robbed O'Faolain of her obscurity, but the traits that defined her life remained obstinately intact.
In Almost There, O'Faolain begins her story from the moment her life began to change in all manner of ways-subtle, radical, predictable, and unforeseen. It is a provocative meditation on the "crucible of middle age"-a time of life that forges the shape of the years to come, that clarifies and solidifies one's relationships to friends and lovers (past and present), family and self. It is also a story of good fortune chasing out bad-of an accidental harvest of happiness.
Almost There, like its predecessor, is a crystalline reflection of a singular character, utterly engaged in life. Intelligent, thoughtful, hilarious, fierce, moving, generous, and most of all, full of surprises.
Customer Reviews:
Brutal, disturbing, honest.......2007-08-05
This is my first book by this author and thus have nothing else to compare this memoir to. My first impression was her honesty, with herself and with others: her alcoholic mother, her own drinking (a bottle of wine a night), her relationship failures both with men and women, and her regrets in life. Had she been an American publishing this book it would have been a sensation, but alas, because she is Irish and Catholic and an unknown in the US, the book made little waves here.
She mentions her first book "Are You Somebody" a lot in this memoir and this seems to be a sequel. It's the book that shot her to fame, which brought her interviews in the more progressive US Northeast where many Irish live. She ponders her success almost to the point of insanity, rather than enjoying her success for her efforts. It's that typical Catholic guilt feeling.
Her honesty with her seemingly gay relationship had me at first stumped. I almost stopped reading after her first mention of her ex-partner leaving her, but I overcame that after I continued her chapter. Then I realized that subject is just too tabu in the US. So I congratulate her for bringing that subject out in the open.
Her candor of her first book caused some heartache to others in her life, others who may have hurt her in the past. Was she trying to get even with them by publishing the events as they happened according to her? She's honest and covers the other person's point of view, which was a courageous act. Most people who write memoirs mention the people who hurt them, but few take the time to ask themselves why they hurt them, or the reasons for the behavior. Different people, different perspectives, says Nuala. Who's right?
It's definitely not an easy read or one that one laughs out loud reading. It's one more of the "Damn, that hurt!" reaction that, after more thought, allows the reader to gain greater respect for the author, and allows the readers to look deeper into themselves.
NOT HALFWAY THERE YET ................2007-06-09
first off i want to say i shouldn't complain too much as i bought an autographed hard copy of this book for just $1.00 . Thank God for small favors . to begin with i really was enjoying this book in the beginning and too quick to imagine myself buying her first memoir .
what bothered me the most was her having an illicit affair with a man who even she described as not being educated, nor really a " looker " . yet time and again she would drive miles, hours, and pay for their trysts .
he'd bring hard candy ....lol.
like, didn't she wonder why she never heard nor saw this gink on holidays such as xmas . not even a card ? I think she knew in her deepest being. she's just the type of woman for some reason needs to be exploited as that's all she feels she truly deserves . it was sickening .
she's lucky to have found someone who cares . but, i didn't give a damn about her during this entire fiasco of a book . she saw the inside of more motels then " the gideon bible " .
my advice to her ...go back to column writing . she ought be ashamed to have her siblings read this as well as everybody else .
i don't believe in bookburning ..but, i'm tempted .
A brutally honest book read by the author.......2007-04-18
I could really relate to her life's reflections in relation to her own personal experiences as well as her perspective on universal family situations. Nuala's frank proclamation revealing her loneliness was quite powerful. The fact that she read this book on CD herself with wit and prose makes me want others to listen to her gift of gab.
How Did Oprah Miss This One?.......2006-11-25
Yes, ma'am, this `analyze my life and then tell-all' book seems like the sort of fare on which Oprah could chew for several shows. It was ready-made for her book club and would have instantly been embraced by her angst-loving fan base, but somehow it stayed outside that sort of recognition. But that's not a cheap shot, I mean it, this is a book for those who like the sort of reading material common in Oprah's book club. So Oprah readers, go get this!
I don't know if I was supposed to, exactly, but I found this book gloomy, and mostly only liked the rare parts where Irish Times writer Nuala O'Faolain wasn't speaking so personally. Her reports on the state of Northern Ireland, her experiences in America (page 195, " 'America' was always the word for promise." Boy have I ever heard that before...) the compare and contrast moments that dealt with Ireland in relation to other places she's been, these were a lot more likely to hold my interest, I found, than her oft-murky forays into her own allegedly bleak childhood, her controversial romantic life, or her stark realizations at her own failings, failures, and foibles.
Still there's something endearing about a woman whose best mate is her dog, Molly, and whose singlemost passion in life seems to be her readiness to delve into self-deprecation as if it is also her salvation.
I don't regret reading Almost There, but I don't plan on seeking out any of Nuala O'Faolain's other published books, either.
Redemption.......2006-05-15
I love this book. While her first, Are you Somebody, was so full of darkness, this is full of hope. It is a book about redemption. She is not there yet, but almost there. She writes BEAUTIFULLY. A real wordsmith. The way she writes alone makes it worthwhile. I am in my 30s and male, and I found that I could relate to the themes she raises. They really are universal.

Book Description
The Pig and I follows the hilly course of author Rachel Toor's romantic life as she falls in love with a series of pets, and in and out of love with an equally eclectic string of men,many of whom bear a striking resemblance to the animals, both in looks and temperament.
From Prudence, a sweet, white lab mouse who hates Rachel's sweet, mousy actor-boyfriend Charlie, to Emma the Pig, a fifty-pound force of nature, whom Rachel coparents with her ex- boyfriend Jonathan, we accompany Rachel as she learns how to bring the same kind of acceptance that is so easy to extend to her pets into her human relationships.
Anyone who knows the comfort of coming home after a disastrous date or day at the office to a wagging tail or ready purr will find The Pig and I utterly irresistible.
“Beautifully written . . . Any woman who's ever loved a pet (or ten) will love Toor's memoir.”— San Francisco Chronicle
“An entertaining,moving read…Even if you are not an animal lover (what is wrong with you that you're not?), this book will be of interest.”—The Los Angeles Times
Customer Reviews:
All "I".......2006-01-31
The author focuses entirely on herself, and she's not a pleasant person to spend an evening with--even at arm's length when reading the book. Her personality is a strange combination of whiny and self-important. If she had focused on the animals in her life, I might have considered this a less disappointing purchase. I'm in my forties, I like chick lit, I love animals, and I probably fit most of the other categories that should make me the ideal reader for the book, but it's just horrible. I felt very misled by the great reviews. If you love it, that's wonderful. This review is provided merely to alert other potential readers that it might not be what you think it is. My copy is destined for charity giveaway, where I hope someone will like it better for the price of a dollar or two.
A DELIGHTFUL read for anyone who ever loved a pet or a man.......2005-06-03
I LOVED this book, and I'm an avid reader, never without a book, and know when I've had a good read. If you love animals and you've attempted to love a man before, you'll find this book extremely funny, heartfelt, insightful, and a joy to read. You'll fall in love with most of her pets and a few of her men, and savor every phrase,character, and animal along the way. If you've ever wondered why you get along with your dogs, cats, horses, etc., better than any man you've ever loved, you'll find youself in this book. And if in the end, you find yourself happily living alone with the exception of an assortment of pets, you will find you are not alone girl!
An amazing read.......2005-05-12
I picked this up from the library after having read it mentioned in an article elsewhere. Extremely well-written, I couldn't put it down, and have recommended it highly to almost all of my female friends. I plan on reading it again this weekend, to see what bits I may have missed as I was travelling with Rachel to see what insights she'd have into her own life that might mirror my own.
Relationships with men and animals.......2005-03-28
Rachel Toor's "The Pig and I" chroniced her journey from a college student at Yale to a forty-something writer. Toor talked about her relationship with various pets; mouse, rat, dog, cat, donkey, and horse. Through each of those pets, she learned something about the animals, especially their characters. Besides her pets, Toor also wrote about the relationship that she had with various men, and the lessons that she learned from each of them. Some of the relationships that she formed with them actually lasted beyond even after they broke up. In fact, two of her ex-boyfriends actually formed a "R.E.B." which stands for Rachel's Ex-Boyfriends.
This is quite a well-written book as the author is witty, funny as well as knowledgeable. I like that she was able to explain vividly her relationships with all her pets and was able to learn a lot about them; their characters, their likes and dislike. From the way she wrote about her pets, there is no doubt that this author has great passion and love for animals. This is certainly a fast-paced and entertaining read!
Belly Laughs, Joy, and Love.......2005-03-15
I enjoy books that make me laugh out loud to myself; there were some priceless moments in this book that elevated my mood considerably. Laughing out loud raises your heart rate and is a very good thing physically; Rachel's tour of encounters with the selfish pig, bitch rat, and others left me smiling.
I, too, have passed this book on to friends and family. I find even the title makes people smile, particularly animal-lovers and women in the dating world.
Toor is also thoughtful about the deep and profound love that can occur between species and that this cross-species love should be honored and revered as much as human love. Her capacity to engage with people and pets is enormous, and she puts her heart out there (and her pen) again and again.

Book Description
Olivia Langdon Clemens was not only the love of Mark Twain's life and the mother of his children, she was also his editor, muse, critic and trusted advisor. She read his letters and speeches. He relied on her judgment on his writing, and readily admitted that she not only edited his work, but also edited his public persona.
Until now, little has been known about Livy's crucial place in Twain's life. In Resa Willis's affecting and fascinating biography, we meet a dignified, optimistic women who married young, raised three sons and a daughter, endured myriad health problems and money woes and who faithfully traipsed all over the world with Twain--Africa, Europe, Asia--while battling his moodiness and her frailty.
Twain adored her. A hard-drinking dreamer with an insatiable wanderlust, he needed someone to tame him. It was Livy who encouraged him to finish his autobiography even through the last stages of her illness. When she died in 1904, Twain's zest for life and writing was gone. He died six years later.
A triumph of the biographer's art, Mark and Livy presents the fullest picture yet of one of the most influential women in American letters.
Customer Reviews:
Mark Twain and the editor who just happened to be his wife.......2000-06-02
It's not simply that Willis provides readers with a new way of understanding Twain's life and work--it's that she does so with such an eloquent prose style. If on the surface Olivia Langdon Clemens appears to be the quintessential Victorian lady--frail, neuresthenic, domestic--her inner strength and unflappable judgement are skillfully uncovered by Willis, who in this work produces that rarest of things: a literary biography that is both literary and biographical.
A lively account and "must" reading for all Mark Twain fans........2000-05-09
Mark and Livy represents the only full-length survey of the woman behind Mark Twain - wife Olivia Clemens, or Livy. Chapters consider her entire role in his life, from her position as wife and mother to her involvement in his writings and career. A lively account which will appeal to Twain fans and readers of biography alike.
