    About this ebook

    American, Jayne Price wants to see the world. But to her, Canada is exotic, her local Chinese buffet is considered an international experience and anyone who doesn’t look like they emigrated from northern Sweden is potentially armed and dangerous. So when she finds herself in Menton, France, surrounded by those people, she decides to play hopscotch with a bevy of cultural landmines before eventually blowing herself up.
