Jo has settled into running her grandparents' little café at the end of the pier in Salthaven. She's given it a spring-clean and a spruce-up and she's getting to know the locals and starting to enjoy life by the sea. But when her Harry, her ex-boyfriend, turns out to be her new accountant, feelings from the past start to flood back. He's here to help sort out the café's finances, which Jo's grandparents left in a mess, but Harry seems to have a hidden agenda and Jo isn't entirely sure spending time with him is a good idea. Jo throws herself into her new plans for the café - turning it into a real café of love by arranging blind dates for some of the regulars.

Life at the Cafe Berlitz


Book Description

Life at the Cafe Berlitz is about the 'other' ex-patriots who lived in Paris in the 50s. These quirky and colorful characters - the impoverished Portuguese marquis, the Maori Latin teacher, and the disgraced Oxford professor - were the author's 'bodyguards' during a decisive period of her life. They lived against the backdrop of post-war II France, when the Algerian war and existentialism were at their peak, and shared the Paris atmosphere with prominent personalities of the time - some of whom the author knew personally. This entertaining book is written with humor, pathos and a touch of the spiritual.







The World of the Paris Café


Book Description

In The World of the Paris Café, W. Scott Haine investigates what the working-class café reveals about the formation of urban life in nineteenth-century France. Café society was not the product of a small elite of intellectuals and artists, he argues, but was instead the creation of a diverse and changing working population. Making unprecedented use of primary sources—from marriage contracts to police and bankruptcy records—Haine investigates the café in relation to work, family life, leisure, gender roles, and political activity. This rich and provocative study offers a bold reinterpretation of the social history of the working men and women of Paris.
