The Yellow Eyes Crocodiles by Katherine Pancol. Pancol is a best-selling author in France. “This is a light hearted romp through one woman’s mid-life crisis, and following re-emergence into the world as a woman, a mother and as a daughter and sister. While the author is French (I read the English translation) and there are purely Gallic moments, the themes of family life and friendship are universal. I laughed and cried, but it is not too serious. As my local wine shop says of some bottles, ‘a perfect summer sipper.’”
