Touché, a French woman's take on the English
(Weidenfeld&Nicolson, 2006)
" The Funniest Frog in Print" The Daily Mail (July 28, 2006)
"Poirier skilfully fuses commentary and autobiography, and her writing - smart, slightly bossy but also self-mocking - is consistently engaging."
The Guardian (July 28, 2007)
"Poirier is a severely witty wind-up merchant. She writes beautiful, neatly measured English, embroidered with flourishes of vernacular. Lively, sardonice, always poised, the book strikes impressive moments."
The Scotsman (August 26, 2006)
"Perhaps it doesn't sound like much fun to be set straight on everything from politics to art, food and sex by a French intellectual, especially by one as perky and as self-assured as Poirier. Strangely, it is."

Le modèle anglais, une illusion française
(Alvik, 2006)
« En quatorze leçons (tout sauf didactiques), avec humour et recul, cette redoutable observatrice décrit quel serait l’effet produit si le “modèle anglais” était appliqué en France…/… Un hymne à la différence. »
