It's an interesting book this one where you will discover much more about a country and its people from the fundamental. Stein writes about everything: from education in France, to characteristics of french people, as the one of being frank, passing through fashion that french people naturally create; domestic life, with the centrality of sons seen without distinguishing a boy by a man; their mother will be in fact always close to them. She doesn't neglect of sharing and writing down her impression about dogs, in particular working ones with numerous anecdots, cats, popular and beloved by french people, french countryside, food and food culture, and much much more.
