French War Brides: Mademoiselle & The American Soldier - Hilary Kaiser - Bog

French War Brides: Mademoiselle & The American Soldieraf Hilary Kaiser
Bag om French War Brides: Mademoiselle & The American Soldier

Following both World War I and II, about 6,500 Franco-American marriages took place between French mademoiselles and American soldiers, be they "doughboys" or GI's. These women, who came from different parts of France and diverse background, would later cross the Atlantic to join husbands, settle in various corners of America, suffer culture shock, and adapt to marriage in a foreign land of postwar plenty with varying degrees of success. Despite these difficulties, like many other immigrants, they got on with it and survived. As the compelling oral histories in this book show, most of them did, in their own way, live the American dream.
