Lyrical and resonant exploration of a day in the life of four residents of 1927 Paris. As the point of view shifts among the characters, their storylines of loss and regret interlock ever tighter into an intense conclusion. Loved it.

Historical Fiction that is both inviting and compelling.

This book makes you want to read more after the first few pages. Those are my types of books! I'm always looking for a hook. I can soundly give a book five stars if it does one of three things: 1) is a pageturner, 2) has remarkable writing and/or 3) has exceptional plot development. In my opinion, this book had all three and more. I definitely was taken in with the plot immediately. I felt the writing was more than on point. In addition, I was fully engaged in the plotline and storyline from page one. This book is stellar and I happily give it five stars! In addition, I believe it'd be an easy handsell with both my historical fan customers and customers who want something different. I think I could convince non/historical fiction fans that this is a good book if they are looking for an "in-between" or "palate cleanser". So I project it'll be a great seller!

A little about the plot: This is one of those books that is told throughout the course of one day. Four characters are introduced and we get to know them all. This book took place in old world Paris in 1927. It was overflowing with cultural references and history.

I LOVED it!
