Widely revered as an expert in the culinary and literary fields, Ruth Reichl brings The City of Light to life on the page in THE PARIS NOVEL with her trademark descriptions of mouthwatering food, famous art and architecture, and fabulous vintage fashion. With themes of finding one’s self, loss, adventure, and the bonds of family—both chosen and blood—THE PARIS NOVEL follows Stella, who receives one-way ticket to Paris after the death of her mother.
As weeks—and many decadent meals—go by, Stella ends up living as a “tumbleweed” at famed bookstore Shakespeare & Company, uncovers a hundred-year-old mystery in a Manet painting, and discovers a passion for food that may be connected to her past. A feast for the senses, THE PARIS NOVEL is a testament to living deliciously, taking chances, and finding your true home.
