The overall effect is an unusual, richly textured image of modern France as it was experienced by a figure of the working class. Madame Lucie's life and her memories-moving, engrossing, entertaining-are a valuable source of insight into French culture and society. As she herself says early in the book, \"What I'm telling is the history of France.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51731779780896,"sku":"NEW0300040385","price":28.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71Q5tyL9CoL.jpg?v=1779434938","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/confessions-of-a-concierge-madame-lucies-history-of-twentieth-century-france-0300040385","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
