After New Yorker writer Lauren Collins moves to Geneva with her Francophone husband, her inability to speak his language makes her feel homeless. As she learns French, her linguistic mistakes –giving birth to a coffeemaker–and insights make for captivating reading. Brilliant and laugh-out-loud funny, this memoir of love and language is a delight.
