  • Thanks, Janet for the comment on the book never lived in Paris but I do understand the difficulties of living in another country or culture, my experience took me right next door to the United States, Montreal Quebec it was living there for three years that taught me about the differences in culture, In Canada, you have, Jamaicans, Haitians, Jews, Palestinians, and  Europeans so yes we are all connected, but only limited by our own knowledge of surroundings.
