Rating: Summary: Excellent, funny story Review: In this story, the excellent M. F. K. Fisher, better known for her gastronomical writing, tells the story of two American little girls, Anne and Mary, and their mother as they adapt to living in France. They gradually make the acquaintance of a mongrel dog, who manages to keep tabs on the entire town. Told as a series of vignettes, this semi-autobiographical story is charming and funny, if slightly lacking in continuity. A pleasure to read.
