Every Frenchman Has One by Olivia de Havilland
4.0

In 1953 Olivia de Havilland moved to Paris with her young son Ben to be with her new French husband; 66 years later she’s still there at 102. Her chipper voice and elegant unflappability make this book a fun read, about landladies and concierges, learning French, shopping in Paris, and navigating family holidays. A happy story about a Hollywood star who found a way to live some sort of ordinary life.
