Samantha Vérant
talks about learning French

Last month, France Book Tours was honored to organize a virtual book tour for Samantha Vérant and her amazing memoir: Seven Letters from Paris.

Today, we just want to mention to our readers always eager to hear from France that Samantha has just been interviewed by Laurel Zuckerman:
on Laurel Zucherman’s Paris Weblog, she, as well as William Alexander, talks about learning French.
I highly recommend this wonderful interview.

And in case you have not read yet Samantha’s memoir, maybe it’s time to add it to your list for Santa:

SYNOPSIS

Twenty years, seven letters, and one long-lost love of a lifetime

At age 40, Samantha Vérant’s life is falling apart-she’s jobless, in debt, and feeling stuck… until she stumbles upon seven old love letters from Jean-Luc, the sexy Frenchman she’d met in Paris when she was 19. With a quick Google search, she finds him, and both are quick to realize that the passion they felt 20 years prior hasn’t faded with time and distance.

Samantha knows that jetting off to France to reconnect with a man that she only knew for one sun-drenched, passion-filled day is crazy-but it’s the kind of crazy she’s been waiting for her whole life. [provided by the publisher]

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Samantha Vérant is a travel addict,
a self-professed oenophile,
and a determined, if occasionally unconventional, French chef.
Over the years, she’s visited many different countries,
lived in many places, and worked many jobs
— always on the search for the one thing that truly excited her.
Then, one day, she found everything she’s been looking for:
a passion for the written word and true love.
Writing not only enabled her to open her heart, it led her to southwestern France,
where she’s now married to a sexy French rocket scientist she met in 1989, but ignored for 20 years.

TOUR QUOTATIONS

Unshelfish

The most cynical of people couldn’t help but be swept away and cave to this beautiful story of two people separated but never really apart, at least not in their heart and soul.

Words And Peace

Seven Letters From Paris is a lively and very inspiring memoir witnessing to the fact that sometimes, life has better things in store for you than the best of fiction could make you dream of. French food and culture will also help! Perfect for all lovers of France and readers who need to be reminded that the sun always shines behind the clouds, how dark they may be.

Griperang’s Bookmarks

If you are looking for a book to prove that true happiness does exist then this book is for you. I think she did a great job with her first memoir and look forward to seeing more books by her. This is a good book for women of all ages to read.

Booklover Book Reviews

This memoir is a lesson in the good that can come from being brutally honest with oneself and taking risks for the chance of happiness. You may need to hit rock bottom and overcome many hurdles, but sometimes fairytales really do come true…

Jorie Loves A Story

I read this memoir as though I was living through each step of her life as if the circumstances were my own, which is a credit to her writing and also to how she developed the voice of the memoir itself.
