The Paris Novel by Ruth Reichel
Paris, just the name brings visions of food, fashion, and culture. Reading The Paris
Novel takes all of these and deliciously wraps the reader up in them. We experience
the City of Lights through Stella, who received an inheritance from her estranged
mother. The instructions for this unexpected windfall - Go to Paris - And so, we are
invited along as Stella ventures to an unknown city where she discovers a dress that
soon sends her into an exploration of self, family, and her life's purpose. Paris is not
merely the backdrop, but an intricate part of the story. Author Ruth Reichel, former
editor of Gourmet magazine, has turned her pen to a city she loves and helps us
to experience it all. One can almost feel the clothes, taste the meals, and imagine
sleeping in a bookstore (yes you can do that at Shakespeare and Company for real!).
Come meet this lovely historical novel's fictional and real characters.
