Paris and Elsewhere February 28, 2005
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
There are many books written about France, and these days with a clutch of "owners abroad" books, informing us of a Year in Provence and other stories, I believe we have yet to find a book that takes us to the very heart of a place or people. Here is a book that truly draws you in and alongside the writer. The actual love of his new found homeland is open, critical, never condescending and always (for me) enlightening. For those of us who take pleasure in walking foriegn city streets, musing over a coffee at a street side table, watching the world go by; this is a must.For those who often wish that times do not change, and that some places remain as they always were, (something often possible in France) for me this was a book written of a kindred spirit, clearly an acedemic, (unlike myself) but perhaps better for that.
An outstanding piece of observation. I loved it.
If you love Paris, as a picture in your mind as you think it should be, or how it was - this book sums it up.
