not only an enjoyable story to read, but very true! As an American living in France, this story touched an emotional chord as I know many women who have been through this horrific experience without the happy ending. I'd like to suggest that Diane write a sequel based on my real life story - le déces ( unexpected death). In France, the Napoleonic Code stills gives a majority inheritance to the children, even from first marriages which were never meant to be. My American lawyers were shocked to learn that my husband who passed way suddenly Dec 21, 2010 thought he had provided for me but retroactive laws passed in 2009 (unknown to us) changed everything. What we had worked for and built together during our 31 years of a loving marriage will now go for a major portion to a son who lives beyond his means and with an attitude of entitlement and selfish unimaginable by any standards - be it American or French.
