Reviews

[Aurélie Masquelier · Rating 4 out of 5]

Livre très sympa pour découvrir le point de vue de l’autrice sur le choc culturel qu’elle a vécu à son arrivée en Norvège. On y découvre les différences majeures entre les francais et les norvégiens et également entre norvégiens du sud/du nord et d’Oslo.
