Opposites Attack

A Novel With Recipes Provencal

Discussion Questions

I love to Skype or call into book clubs. Reach out to me through my website or social media for more info. — Jo

Opposite Attract Discussion Questions (best when accompanied with French wine and cheese)

  1. Do you think Alyce enjoyed herself too much or too little while on her adventure?
  2. How do food and cooking assist in the transformation of Alyce?
  3. How did each character’s childhood affect them as adults?
  4. What are your thoughts on a “marriage of convenience” or an arranged marriage?
  5. Jean-Luc eventually states that writing is “a commodity.” Do you see this a sign of positive growth or as an abandonment of artistic ideals?
  6. For most of the story, the author uses various means to conceal Collette’s true identity. How does knowing the truth change your perception of Jean-Luc?
  7. French is “the language of love.” How would Alyce’s experience have been different had she gone to a different country and learned another language?
  8. Who (or what) do you think is the true antagonist of this story?
  9. With which character do you most identify, and why?
  10. Opposites Attack has a number of themes—non-traditional family, culture shock, odd-couple romance, and more. What do you think is the most important one?
