Jacqueline Donnelly recounts with humor her ex-pat life teaching English in a middle school in Bordeaux, France. Hoping to escape her predictable American life in the States, she runs away in search of adventure and self-discovery. It is a perfect plan. What could go wrong?

Her rosy-eyed dreams of living and working in romantic France come crashing down, leaving her to cope with unexpected challenges. The story reveals daily life in France, and the encounters with wonderful and not so wonderful characters along the way. 

​

Anywhere but Bordeaux! is perfect reading for anyone tempted to run away and is ideal for a book club.
