Welcome to Litsy!

Cute

I agree! Too many books out there…

What fun! The 2nd in a series on Paris neighborhoods. Think windmills along the streets , Renoir, Van Gogh ,Toulouse-Lautrec & the Moulin Rouge. Later, into the jazz age , with lost generation writers & Josephine Baker. Baxters style is conversational, like he‘s taking you through history, culture ,architecture through time. Brief chapters make it a fun break from my chunksters! I will continue to seek out more books in this series!

An excellent read! @FeatherV you would love this. Genevieve returns to the Paris of her childhood as her marriage is crumbling and upon her uncle‘s death. It is her dream to take over her uncle‘s locksmith shop. In the process she learns of a mysterious time in her mother‘s history and discovers much about herself.

Prompt: LETTERS

HISTORICAL FICTION - FRANCE

I fell in love with this book the minute Claire walked into the warmth of her childhood home as she returned to take care of her dying grandmother.

LETTERS FROM PARIS left me with a warm, cozy feeling because it was filled with history, family, Paris, love, and was simply a lovely read.

FULL REVIEW: https://tinyurl.com/2s3jeu9p

A 2023 reading goal is to always have a nonfiction or biography running simultaneously with my fiction reading. This 2nd 2023 bio read conversationally while slipping into a Who‘s Who List on influential people Chanel mingled with. To sum it up, Chanel was mysterious, inventive, prone to mixing truth with omission and embellishment in the story of her life. Chaney tried to piece it together but it‘s very surface level and speculative at times. ⬇️

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Story of the world‘s wealthiest woman and the man she gave hundreds of millions of Euros to, maybe willingly, maybe by being taken advantage of. Lots of interesting bits, but also lots of details that could be hard to follow.

Thanks to these Litsy folks for today‘s prompt:

This is a love story to Paris. It has a strong sense of place. It has made me want to lessen more about locks and locksmiths!
