Isabelle Lafleche Stuck on a Desert Island

If Isabelle Lafleche, author of J'adore New York, was stuck on a Desert Island, how would she fare...

1. If you could only have one book with you, what would it be?
The Great Gatsby. I can never get enough of that story.

2. What one luxury item would you want to be stranded with?

My Nespresso coffee machine. ( For further details, see answer below about food + beverage.)

3. What is the one practical item you would want to have with you to use?

A tent, I have trouble sleeping anywhere without having something over my head.

4. Would you enjoy the solitude, even briefly, or would it drive you crazy?
Yes, I would as I do enjoy being on my own. Especially if I have a good book and a computer.

5. If you could be stranded with one other person, who would you want it to be?

Candace Bushnell. I'm sure we'd have fun writing something together, especially with an exotic cocktail on the beach.

6. What modern technology would you miss the most?

My computer. I love receiving comments from the readers of my blog, it's totally addictive!

7. What food or beverage would you miss the most?

A strong cup of coffee. I would never have written a novel without it. (or done much else, for that matter!) I absolutely need one in the morning otherwise, you don't want to be around me.

8. How many days do you think you would cope without rescue?
It would really depend on the weather. Being from Montreal, if it's warm and sunny and happens to be in the middle of the Canadian winter, I could definitely stay a while.

9. What is the first thing you would do when rescued?

Call my mother. I'm sure we would have lots to gossip about...

10. What would be your first Tweet or Facebook update upon your return?
I’ve gone out for cappuccino! Ciao!
