"A truly exciting book about France and the French. Elaine Sciolino brilliantly captures the French character, looking at us with humour, curiosity, and at times admiration. Her book shows the power, charm, and seduction of 'the French touch.' Enjoy!" - Bernard Kouchner, former Foreign Minister of France "A book to be savored by every hedonist. A must-read introduction to French contemporary culture." - Alain Ducasse, chef and restaurateur "Crackles with the sharp, rueful wit of an outsider who has achieved some insight into Gallic dos and don'ts largely by running afoul of them herself. Carefully researched and lucidly argued, La Seduction develops a wonderfully suggestive theory of French pleasure." - The New York Times Book Review
