French Milk

Product Information

However, Knisley also fails to really talk about the realisations that she had in regards to coming-of-age and dealing with a new stage of her life. She likes books, sewing, bicycles, food you can eat with a spoon, manatees, nice pens, costumes, baking and Oscar Wilde. In terms of art, I am usually a huge fan of Knisley’s style as it is very clean, simple, and expressive.

What I found instead was a collection of drawings and photos of what Knisley ate and bought while living in Paris for 6 weeks with her mother. Perfectly depicting Paris in an honest and straightforward way, combined with photographs and lovely illustrations.If you're going to do something that's morally questionable, at least own that decision without attempting to spin it into kindness via inaccuracies.

But Lucy's was, and I'm grateful that this public record of her learning curve is available for anyone to discover. But I wanted to go again just so I could walk those streets, try those cafes and restaurants, and eat all those delicious croissants and chocolate mousse and chocolate fondant and baguettes and fois gras and onion soup and my God. The farmer brought his tractor around the site with a churn of milk fresh from the cows and still warm. but here is why I gave the book one star instead: on the plane ride home to new york, she and her mom watch a dvd with no headphones.There was very little exploration of the difference between the real Paris and the idealised, Americanised version - except, that is, where it could be complained about. That seems like a low blow to take, but complaining about having no money when you are taking a two-month trip to Paris and eating what look like decadent meals and cookies all the time seems kind of silly, as does complaining about the state of modern art. Before common refrigeration in this country we had sterilised milk, in long necked bottles with metal caps.
