20 years on: From “Almost French” to wholly Australian

Meet Sarah Turnbull, the author behind the 2002 smash hit memoir Almost French.

But she isn’t in Paris anymore, no no. She is in Sydney, which couldn’t be more different. So with all these years gone by, what does Sarah miss about Paris?

I asked her for this week’s podcast, but that was just one part of a sprawling conversation; we also touched on how Australia “does” French things, rue Montorgueil, and she shared an exclusive insight into her new book!
