After last year's A Very Russian Christmas, New Vessel presents a new holiday compilation featuring 14 French stories from both classic and contemporary authors. Several selections date from the 19th century, including stories by Francois Coppee and Maupassant, interspersed with more modern tales from Jean-Philippe Blondel, Dominique Fabre, and Irene Nemirovsky. The book starts off with Blondel's slyly humorous story, "The Gift," about an elderly man who has to put up with his family at Christmas but manages to sneak off with an old flame he spies across the restaurant. However, the remaining pieces don't live up to the promise of the first. VERDICT Recommend this title only for the most die-hard Francophiles.
