pick#IllseeyouinParis 2021 book challenge... January's Paris book was I'll see you in Paris by Michelle Gable. What an amazing story! Starting with a tragedy in the Vietnam war & spanning 30 years, this book is like a spiral... loosely woven & loosely connected at first & as each turn of the spiral gets closer & closer the story comes together more & more culminating with an amazing finish that will leave you in tears! (Continued in comments)...

Summary: The lives of three women born generations apart, but who face similar struggles of love and heartbreak. After losing her fiancé in the Vietnam War, nineteen-year-old Laurel Haley takes a job in England, hoping the distance will mend her shattered heart.
pickThis was a delightful read. A love story and the mystery of a missing/ disappearing duchess told through 3 time periods. That may sound complicated but it actually flows very smoothly. Thank you @FeatherV for turning me on to this book.
“Maybe she‘ll surprise us, Eric said. .....Great opening line!!!!!!
pickI fell so in love with this book a quarter of the way through that I reserved two more of her books from the library, this tale is gripping and heart wrenching and wonderful

TODAY'S PROMPT: EYE SEE YOU
I am a little off with the prompt, but Paris makes up for it. :)
I'LL SEE YOU IN PARIS was very light and enjoyable with memorable characters and was well researched. I love the cover and the revelations at the end.

pickI feel Annie's pain (see image). I got impatient with the story too. But I was fond enough of the characters to stick with it. I didn't find it hard to keep up with the 2 story lines. Likable characters, fun place setting (old British house, old British pub), indulgent fantasy involving secret library. Not as lovable as A Paris Apartment, which comes down entirely to relating to that book more (& feeling more understood by it).
so-soThis was an impulse buy and a bumpy ride. the description on the back does not really match the plot but as I forced myself to keep reading I did get attached to the characters. For my liking the book jumps around too much and the delivery of the plot through one character telling a story to the protagonist is a little stale but I'm glad I finished it. Unfortunately I still wish I had read something else from my endless TBR instead. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I have been away from Litsy for too long - life has thrown a few curveballs! Here is to me coming back in full swing! I am making a move to Manhattan in a few weeks and I'm incredibly excited that my apartment is walking distance to this bookstore! They admit they don't have anything to do with the original Shakespeare and Co but still :) I just have to work extra hard on that self control when I walk past... 😉😳😋🎉🤡📚
Enjoyable read- literary mystery, romance, based on real life historical figure, Gladys Deacon, the Duchess of Marlboro. She serves as an amusing, fascinating backdrop who drives the story of a mother & a daughter, stumbling upon & searching for her mother's past. At first I found the structure confusing ( fluctuating between past present, various characters' narration) but it was worth staying with the book as the mysteries gradually unfolded.
Billed as part love story, part literary mystery. Sign me up!
so-soThe book was actually pretty good even with its slow start. My biggest complaint is with the title. While I understand where it came from (it's a line straight from the text), i just don't feel it truly captures the story here.
"A brilliant idea. That is, aside from the aforementioned bullets, the barbed wire, a herd of wild boars, a few poisoned spears, as well as about a dozen other hazards. Other than that, a winning plot!”
The morning's reading plan. This is the third book in my book club's "Summer in Paris" theme for the summer months. The first two were The Little Paris Bookshop by Nina George and Unbecoming by Rebecca Scherm.
a book about a mysterious book, well I'm in
An interview with international bestselling author MIchelle Gable for the WomenWritersWomen['s]Books magazine. http://booksbywomen.org/qa-with-michelle-gable/ I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! :)
pickI adored the story structure used. Love Gable's research. Gives voice to it.
