Nirvana.

Ch.1 is a tense,heartbreaking account of the night of the fire- the official‘s involved,the fireman‘s bravery, the eerie silence of the ever expanding crowds until a communal scream “No!”, breaks out as the spire lights up.The author states:”On the night of the fire I remember a kaleidoscope of images,a collision of emotions,in quick succession.”I remember watching with my husband, mesmerized & horrified as we witnessed it burn that night in TV.

“Notre Dame is one of mankind‘s greatest architectural achievements, the face of civilization and the soul of the nation.”

Fantastic read, from the fire, through her 850 year history and then to her future I was enraptured. It made me miss her so, along with my beloved Paris 🇫🇷

A wonderful history of Notre-Dame de Paris, including the dreadful fire that severely damaged, but failed to destroy, it almost a year ago.

I was fortunate enough to meet Agnès Poirier last week at l‘Institut Français Royaume-Uni. She was introducing a showing of a fantastic documentary about the organ in Notre Dame de Paris Cathedral, and I grabbed the opportunity to ask her to sign a copy of her latest book, which I am eagerly looking forward to reading. #agnespoirier #notredamedeparis #notredame #paris #history #books #france #frenchhistory
