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?
Turns out it can be very hard, indeed, but for all the wrong reasons.
Sorbonne Confidential mixes high comedy, serious research and emotion to explore the failings of France's system for selecting its elites. A deceptively pleasant and amusing read on a fascinating topic.
Highly recommended. -
