The Paris Novel by Ruth Reichl

Why did her mother want her to go to Paris?

Stella liked her quiet, solitary life and her predictable job at the publishing house.


She wasn’t a spender.


She wasn’t one to be extravagant, and she definitely wasn’t someone that liked to socialize like her mother did.


After her boss forced her to go on a vacation, she decided she might as well head to Paris.  She didn’t like it at all.


Or she didn’t like it until she was enticed by an eccentric woman to buy a very expensive dress created by Dior that made her feel amazing in all ways.


She didn’t know this dress would make her see things differently and meet wonderful people or was it just Paris itself?


Is this what her mother wanted her to feel and where she wanted her to be?


Besides loving how Stella is able to find herself you will love all the name dropping of fashion icons, famous artists, places in Paris, and the mystery Stella was trying to solve and a mystery she was not trying to unravel, but so happy she did.


You will love the characters - eccentric, sweet, and loving.  And of course you will fall in love with Paris.


A delightful, breezy read, but don’t read this book if you are hungry.  5/5


Thank you to the publisher for a copy of this book.  All opinions are my own.
