520    Every year upon arriving in Plobien, the small Breton town
       where he spends his summers, American writer Mark 
       Greenside picks back up where he left off with his faux-
       pas-filled Francophile life. Mellowed and humbled, but not
       daunted (OK, slightly daunted), he faces imminent concerns
       : What does he cook for a French person? Who has the right
       -of-way when entering or exiting a roundabout? Where does 
       he pay for a parking ticket? And most dauntingly of all, 
       when can he touch the tomatoes? Despite the two decades 
       that have passed since Greenside's snap decision to buy a 
       house in Brittany and begin a bi-continental life, the 
       quirks of French living still manage to confound him. 
       Continuing the journey begun in his 2009 memoir about 
       beginning life in France, (Not Quite) Mastering the Art of
       French Living details Greenside's daily adventures in his 
       adopted French home, where the simplest tasks are never 
       straightforward but always end in a great story. Through 
       some hits and lots of misses, he learns the rules of 
       engagement, how he gets what he needs-which is not 
       necessarily what he thinks he wants-and how to be grateful
       and thankful when (especially when) he fails, which is 
       more often than he can believe. Introducing the English-
       speaking world to the region of Brittany in the tradition 
       of Peter Mayle's homage to Provence, Mark Greenside's 
       first book, I'll Never Be French, continues to be among 
       the bestselling books about the region today. Experienced 
       Francophiles and armchair travelers alike will delight in 
       this new chapter exploring the practical and philosophical
       questions of French life, vividly brought to life by 
       Greenside's humor and affection for his community. 
       "Learning how to shop, drive, and eat in France have their
       own sets of rules, and (not quite) Mastering the Art of 
       French Living tackles them with a soupçon of humor. From 
       buying a lamp to mastering mollusks (oysters), and 
       learning the right-and wrong ways-things are done in 
       France, Mark Greenside perseveres... and succeeds."  
       "Failure to speak French has never been so funny! 
       Greenside may never master the gender of French nouns, but
       he sees straight through the French. A smart, delicious 
       memoir of life off the beaten track in France." "Mark 
       Greenside recounts hilarious experiences only a foreigner 
       can have in France, for they're the ordinary things of 
       French life that go unnoticed by the locals yet the 
       funniest of things for someone from the 'outside'!"
