A collection of all-new Paris-themed essays written by some of the biggest names in women’s fiction, including Paula McLain, Therese Anne Fowler, Maggie Shipstead, and Lauren Willig, edited by Eleanor Brown, the New York Times bestselling author of The Weird Sisters and The Light of Paris.
 
“My time in Paris,” says New York Times–bestselling author Paula McLain (The Paris Wife), “was like no one else’s ever.” For each of the eighteen bestselling authors in this warm, inspiring, and charming collection of personal essays on the City of Light, nothing could be more true.
While all of the women writers featured here have written books connected to Paris, their personal stories of the city are wildly different. Meg Waite Clayton (The Race for Paris) and M. J. Rose (The Book of Lost Fragrances) share the romantic secrets that have made Paris the destination for lovers for hundreds of years. Susan Vreeland (The Girl in Hyacinth Blue) and J. Courtney Sullivan (The Engagements) peek behind the stereotype of snobbish Parisians to show us the genuine kindness of real people.
From book club favorites Paula McLain, Therese Anne Fowler (Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald), and anthology editor Eleanor Brown (The Light of Paris) to mystery writer Cara Black (Murder in the Marais), historical author Lauren Willig (The Secret History of the Pink Carnation), and memoirist Julie Powell (Julie and Julia), these Parisian memoirs range from laugh-out-loud funny to wistfully romantic to thoughtfully somber and reflective.
 
Perfect for armchair travelers and veterans of Parisian pilgrimages alike, readers will delight in these brand-new tales from their most beloved authors.
Read by Kimberly Farr, Cassandra Campbell, Susan Denaker, Emily Rankin, and Alana Kerr Collins

      Eighteen bestselling female authors share their personal experiences in and connections to the City of Light in this collection of essays, performed alternately by five narrators. Together, the stories reveal the many faces of Paris, from crusty baguettes and beautiful scarves to unfamiliar customs and dark alleys. All the narrators sound comfortable with French pronunciations and skillfully illuminate each writer's unique reactions to the city. For example, Kimberly Farr's sultry voice perfectly conveys just how thoroughly Paris seduced author Ellen Sussman, and Cassandra Campbell beautifully captures Paula McLain's awe and frustration as she set out to photograph the city's literary landmarks. Be prepared to dream about sipping un chocolat chaud (or maybe champagne) while watching the sunset from the Pont des Arts. C.B.L. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine
