I bought this copy at The Abbey bookstore after hearing about this fascinating woman on a tour of Paris. I love reading books I bought on vacation. It‘s a way to keep the trip alive for me.

LeahBergen I do, too! And when I get home, I go on a massive reading binge about all the sites I visited. 👍🏻 7y

Stopped by the Abbey Book Store this morning. It‘s up there with Shakespeare and Co for English book shops in Paris. Because it‘s all in a stone building, it was significantly cooler than the other spots we walked by. It was worth a visit! I left with a copy of The Second Sex, The Mistress IG Paris, and a penguin caps edition of Yeats poems. 👌🏻

LeahBergen Oh my. 😍 7y
