After losing her high tech job in Paris, Alice Wunderland dreams of a new, unemployment-proof career as English teacher and decides to dedicate a year to training for France`s prestigious competitive exam; After all, she reasons, how hard can it be for an educated American to pass a test in English?
She enrolls at the Sorbonne, but her Arizona English fails to impress. Even Shakespeare`s English falls short. Only one English will do: Sorbonne English! Even while learning this new language, Alice vows to investigate: Why devise an English exam that few native speakers can pass ? Could this explain why French schoolchildren rank last for English skills in Europe? Is it true that Frenchness is a question of formatting? If so, can a foreigner even one with French nationality ever become truly French? As riots break out in France among the children of immigrants, Alice cannot help but wonder: could there be any connection between her bewildering experience and theirs? A hilarious, hair-raising insider`s look at the esoteric world of French Education. (Harriet Welty Rochefort --author of French Toast).
