Book: French Trysts

Book number two.

Title: French Trysts
Author: Kirsten Lobe
Thoughts: A very different book from the other I read yesterday. This was the story of a young American woman who falls in love with Paris and becomes a grande courtesan. I enjoyed it, although I did find certain passages clunky. Usually when I pause to put a book down, and then debate picking it up again, it means I have reached a passage that didn't quite work for me. Still, the novel worked in many ways, and had a clever narrator (though there were a couple of instances of repeating-clever-thoughts which I think I only picked up because I read the entire book in one evening.)

I love Paris, too. I don't think I'll ever be a courtesan, and I hope my husband won't have a plethora of affairs, even if we do live in Paris one day (and we'd like to) since it seems de rigeur en France. The novel captured so many wistful reasons why I, like so many others, have become captivated by the City of Lights.
