An engaging, insightful account of all the ways that we misunderstand each other, and how unsuspected elements of culture and language play their parts Raymonde Carroll presents an intriguing and thoughtful analysis of the many ways French and Americans--and indeed any members of different cultures--can misinterpret each other, even when ostensibly speaking the same language.Cultural misunderstandings, Carroll points out, can arise even where we least expect them--in our closest relationships.
