Un'autrice britannica affascinata dalla Francia fin dai tempi della scuola, che ha fatto di Parigi la sua casa dopo aver studiato lingue moderne. Ciò che è iniziato come un blog, 'petite anglaise', durante il suo periodo come segretaria bilingue, si è trasformato nel suo sostentamento dopo un licenziamento inaspettato e una successiva battaglia legale. La sua opera d'esordio è un memoriale che racconta un anno tumultuoso come espatriata, madre lavoratrice e blogger a Parigi, creato per essere letto come un romanzo. Ora è impegnata nella scrittura del suo primo romanzo di finzione.
'Fantastic ... It explains the misperception of stacked odds and personal powerlessness that stops individuals challenging bad behaviour. Stunning. Humbling.

Catherine Sanderson's Social Psychology will help open students minds to a world beyond their own experience so that they will better understand themselves and others. Sanderson's uniquely powerful program of learning resources was built to support you in moving students from passive observers to active course participants. Go further in applying social psychology to everyday life. Sanderson includes application boxes on law, media, environment, business, health and education in every chapter right as the relevant material is introduced, rather than at the end of the book. This allows students to make an immediate connection between the concept and the relevant application and provides a streamlined 15 chapter organization that helps you cover more of the material in a term.
Living in Paris with her partner, the workaholic Mr Frog, and their adorable toddler, Tadpole, Catherine decides to alleviate the boredom of her metro-boulot-dodo routine by starting a blog under the name of Petite Anglaise. As she lays herself bare about the confines of her stagnant relationship with Mr Frog, about Paris life and about the wonder and pain that comes with being a mother, she finds a new purpose to her day. As Petite Anglaise, Catherine regains her confidence and makes internet friends, including one charismatic and single Englishman who lives in Brittany, James. And after meeting James one evening in a bar, Catherine feels she has regained her ability to fall in love, too. Petite Anglaise weaves together many strands which have already struck a chord with the thousands of readers who love her blog: a �fish out of water� perspective of Paris life, the raw emotional drama of a whirlwind, adulterous romance and an honest appreciation of the hardships of single motherhood.
