A propos de cet article

Paperback. Life Beyond the PostcardsEveryone knows the French Riviera from the postcard: the pastel facades, the long lunch, the sea in its best light. Sandi Duverneuil moved to Nice for work and found a France that no postcard shows.My Life on the French Riviera, Unfiltered covers her first two years working in France. There are the demarches that swallow whole weeks, each one requiring a document she doesn't have yet. There is a workplace with its own rules about who answers to whom, and a coworker who knew French labor law better than anyone in the building. There is the day she gave her notice.Before she left the United States, an astrologer warned her that her Saturn line ran straight through this part of the world, and that it would be difficult. She went anyway.Then there is grief. At her mother's bedside, Sandi said she had so many books to write and not enough time. Her mother, eyes twinkling, answered, "Just do it." Her grief unfolded in two countries at once, on her own schedule and on everyone else's.Not all of the book is loss. A baker, a few chefs, and a Reiki healer arrive at the point where the weight begins to shift. They are the people who make a foreign city feel like somewhere you could stay.This is a memoir about working, losing, and starting over abroad, told with humor and without gloss. It is for readers who want the real texture of an expat life, including the paperwork, the bad weeks, and the ordinary mornings that turn out to matter. It is also for anyone who has carried something heavy through a city that wasn't built to notice.It ends on the Place du Pin, on a low stone wall beneath a pin parasol, with the light coming down through the branches. Beyond the sun-drenched imagery lies a raw exploration of navigating bureaucracy, professional friction, and profound loss while attempting to build a new identity in a foreign land. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
