Download A Paris All Your Own: Best-Selling Women Writers on the City of Light AudioBook Free
A collection of all-new Paris-themed essays compiled by some of the biggest names in women's fiction, including Paula McLain, Therese Anne Fowler, Maggie Shipstead, and Lauren Willig, edited by Eleanor Dark brown, the New York Times best-selling author of The Strange Sisters and The Light of Paris. "My time in Paris," says New York Times best-selling writer Paula McLain (The Paris Wife), "was like no person else's ever." For every of the 18 best-selling writers in this warm, motivating, and charming collection of personal essays on the town of Light, little or nothing could be truer. While every one of the women writers presented here have written books linked to Paris, their personal tales of the location are wildly different. Meg Waite Clayton (The Contest for Paris) and M. J. Rose (The E book of Lost Fragrances) promote the affectionate secrets which have made Paris the destination for fans for hundreds of years. Susan Vreeland (The Gal in Hyacinth Blue) and J. Courtney Sullivan (The Engagements) peek behind the stereotype of snobbish Parisians to show us the original kindness of real people. From book club favorites Paula McLain, Therese Anne Fowler (Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald), and anthology editor Eleanor Dark brown (The Light of Paris) to mystery article writer Cara Black color (Murder in the Marais), historical writer Lauren Willig (The Top secret Background of the Pink Carnation), and memoirist Julie Powell (Julie and Julia), these Parisian memoirs range between laugh-out-loud funny to wistfully affectionate to thoughtfully somber and reflective. Perfect for armchair travelers and veterans of Parisian pilgrimages similarly, listeners will take pleasure in these brand-new tales using their most beloved writers.
