Picking up “God Save la France” for the second time but in its French translation to practice my language skills has only left me disappointed. I remember rating “A Year in the Merde” as one of my favourite books after finishing it, laughing out loud while going through it and finishing it in a flash but for this edition… It’s been a struggle. It seems like the sense of humour simply didn’t translate into French…

I’ve simply forced myself through it and didn’t enjoy it at all. If you ever hear someone speaking highly of Stephen Clarke and loving his books, go for the original English version or none at all!!!
