20 years on: From "Almost French" to wholly Australian

20 years on: From "Almost French" to wholly Australian

Today on the pod it's Australian author Sarah Turnbull, the woman behind the 2002 smash hit memoir Almost French.

But she isn't in Paris anymore, no no! She is in Sydney, which couldn't be more different. So with all these years gone by, what does Sarah miss about Paris?

Of course, this is but one part of a sprawling conversation we had at Frenchy's cafe in Mosman. We also touched on how Australia "does" French things and we get an exclusive insight into Sarah's new book!!!

You can find Sarah's books "Almost French" and "All Good Things" online (and in bookshops!) and you can encourage her to keep going on Instagram here: @sarahturnbullauthor
