The Paris Hours

Gorgeous prose, interesting characters, and that early 20th Century European setting I adore. I was hooked from the start. There's typically only one or two characters that I wholly cling to in a story, but I honestly can't choose between them here. All of their backstories are rich and fascinating made better once they begin to intermingle. I've had this sitting on my bookshelf since last April and I wish I hadn't waited! There's a bittersweet tone throughout the book, another thing I love. It'll be one of those books that stays with me for a while.
