Master's thesis, Harvard University Division of Continuing Education.30245021https://nrs.harvard.edu/URN-3:HUL.INSTREPOS:37373995French Kiss is a love story told in memoir form. When the American author realizes in her 40s that her life is reduced to an estranged, alcoholic husband, a questionable job, and the wrong commitments, she does the only thing she can; she runs away to Paris and into the arms of a Frenchman she has known for ten months beginning with an eBay transaction, but never met in person. A three-week vacation turns into a three-year love affair with a man and a city. Poignant and comical, the couple wrestle with language barriers, cultural differences, the meaning of love, and a life-threatening illness. This thesis includes the memoir’s first eight chapters.application/pdfenCreative writingThesis or Dissertation2023-01-11Lacy Loar-Gruenler
