Light of Paris by Eleanor Brown, author of Weird Sisters, is a novel that moves back and forth from Paris 1924 to the States 1999. When Madeleine uncovers her grandmother’s letters and journals from her time in Paris when she was young, she forms a whole new opinion of the woman she hardly knew. Dealing with an oppressive marriage, the journals just might be the inspiration she needs to set off on an adventure of her own.

I’ve read many books in this format lately and there’s nothing very original here, however, it is loosely based on the authors own grandmother. A sweet, easy read. It’s always enjoyable to get lost in Paris for a while.
