La délicatesse
Out of stock
François thought: If she orders a decaf, I’m getting up and leaving. It’s the least sociable drink there is. Tea isn’t much better. You can tell we’re going to spend Sunday afternoons watching TV. Or worse: at the in-laws’. Finally, he tells himself that juice would be nice. Yes, juice is nice. It’s friendly and not too aggressive. It makes her seem sweet and well-balanced. But what kind of juice? Better to steer clear of the classics: let’s avoid apple or orange—too cliché. You have to be just a tiny bit original, without being eccentric, though. Papaya or guava is a bit scary. Apricot juice is perfect. If she chooses that, I’ll marry her... “I’ll have a juice... An apricot juice, I think,” Nathalie replies. He looked at her as if she were a breach of reality.
François pensa : si elle commande un déca, je me lève et je m'en vais. C'est la boisson la moins conviviale qui soit. Un thé, ce n'est guère mieux. On sent qu'on va passer des dimanches après-midi à regarder la télévision. Ou pire : chez les beaux-parents. Finalement, il se dit qu'un jus, ça serait bien. Oui, un jus, c'est sympathique. C'est convivial et pas trop agressif. On sent la fille douce et équilibrée. Mais quel jus ? Mieux vaut esquiver les grands classiques : évitons la pomme ou l'orange, trop vu. Il faut être un tout petit peu original, sans être toutefois excentrique. La papaye ou la goyave, ça fait peur. Le jus d'abricot, c'est parfait. Si elle choisit ça, je l'épouse ... - Je vais prendre un jus ... Un jus d'abricot, je crois, répond Nathalie. Il la regarda comme si elle était une effraction de la réalité.

FAQ
Here are the answers to the most common questions I get asked, please review them and reach out to me if you need more info on something, I love to help you pick the right book, just for you!
Are the books New?
Yes, all the books that I sell during my bookfairs or online on my e-boutique are brand new.. You will be the very first to flip all the pages and enjoy the feeling of holding your own book in your hand.
What defines the prices of the books?
As a passionate small business owner, my goal is to offer a high level of quality imported from France at the best price. I understand that some people may be surprised by the difference of price between French and American books. In France, books are more expensive as authors and illustrators get larger copyright compensations. Also, imports cost quite a bit if you take into account the price of transport as well as the weight of what is being transported. I appreciate your constant support, when you choose sustainable small businesses over large corporations.
Do you have a shop?
My main way of meeting you is book fairs, festivals and private sales. Ordering online through my e-boutique is the best way to support French Authors and Small Minority Owned business like mine.
