(spoiler alert: don't read this review if you want the story to be a surprise as you read it)Published 20 years after the events described, Jacqueline Donnelly and her husband spent a year in a poorer area near Bordeaux in 1999 as an exchange teacher where she taught middle-school English. Normally she was a French teacher in the US so she was able to fit into the French-speaking world without much trouble. Middle school children can be rough in any setting, but except for one class the rest of the students she taught seemed even more rebellious than normal.As she writes in the epilogue, a friend had told her "France is a garden only for tourists". Ms. Donnelly did make friends among her neighbors and colleagues and had the experiences we all dream about of living in France. But she also saw less laudable sides of France including the way the school was run and the lack of support for many of her students who seemed to need counseling and/or special education placement. Her and her husband exchanged homes with the French teacher who came to the US on the exchange, and Ms. Donnelly had a deteriorating relationship with her. One thing I didn't like so much about the book was even though it is in chronological order, the early chapters keep dropping hints that something unpleasant lurks ahead that she wishes she had recognized. I found that a bit distracting; she didn't realize things at the time for the most part and so it draws away from the story to read thru an account colored by the future.
