At the school gate, when she accidentally kissed one new friend on the nose and called another a ' beautiful man-horse' , Rachael realised that small-town France could hardly be more different to beach-side Australia. The smell of cigarettes replaced the tang of bone-broth and sprouted sourdough, the neighbours sometimes came to blows and under no circumstances would anyone wear activewear in public. Ever. Muddling through every interaction in terrible French pushed Rachael' s family to their limits. Some days, everybody cried and ate their feelings with almond croissants. But the town of Sommieres embraced these ragtag Australians, and the family fell in love with their temporary hometown and its outrageous gossip, cobblestoned beauty and kind, eccentric inhabitants. Pardon My French is a candid, hilarious love letter to family life and France with three valuable lessons for overcoming adversity: make home a beautiful nest, lean into the tough lessons and look for the comedy in everything.
Rachael Mogan McIntosh is a mum of three, crisis counsellor and community trainer from the south coast of NSW. Her writing has appeared in publications across Australia, France and the USA. Rachael loves books, baths, coffee, podcasts, TV and Terry' s Chocolate Orange; consuming them simultaneously whenever possible. Pardon My French is her first book.
