I was a citified Paris correspondent for fancy American glossies who went Green Acres in a village of 175 people in the middle of a forest. It's been interesting.
Alexandra's writing is one of the reasons I wanted to continue pursuing reporting work and journalism, despite the precarity of freelancing. She is a tremendous storyteller, deeply understands her subject's time and place, and can make anything into a compelling read. Her chronicle of life outside of Paris, in Le Perche, has opened up a new realm of writing that we are lucky to access. Inspiring, heartfelt, witty, and delightful every time.
