![]() ![]() ![]() Mark Greenside's brilliant and colorful writing was brought to life in perfection. I always do a sneak-peek listen and was immediately hooked. I happened upon this Audible book in desperation for an out-of-town Thanksgiving drive. He has never regretted his journey and, as he advises to those searching for their next adventure, neither will you.Ī hilarious, neurotic and tantalizing travelogue! I'll Never Be French (No Matter What I Do) is both a new beginning and a homecoming for Greenside. So when he settles into the rhythm of this new French culture not only does he find a home and meaningful relationships in this French countryside, he finds himself. Until he came to this town, Greenside was lost, moving through life without a plan, already in his 40s with little money and no house. He gradually places his trust in the villagers he encounters - neighbors, workers, acquaintances - and he's consistently won over and surprised as he manages to survive day-to-day trials. ![]() In a playful, headlong style, and with enormous affection for the Bretons, Greenside shares how he makes a life for himself in a country where he doesn't speak the language or understand the culture. When Mark Greenside - a native New Yorker living in California, political lefty, writer, and lifelong skeptic - is dragged by his girlfriend to a tiny Celtic village in Brittany at the westernmost edge of France in Finistere, or what he describes as "the end of the world," his life begins to change. ![]()
