Synopsis

Information

Eloisa James had lived vicariously for years through the heroines of her bestselling historical romances. But after a year of life-changing events, she decides it is time to live someone else’s life so she sells her house, takes a sabbatical from her university job, and moves her family to Paris to focus on the ordinary pleasures of life. James soon abandons her grand plans to write four books and instead falls under the spell of the nearby boulangeries, where ‘the smell of baking bread feels like a welcome’ and flirtations with the local butcher. Her Italian husband, Alessandro, attempts to perfect his imperfect French; fifteen-year-old son, Luca, strikes out in search of a local girlfriend; and precocious Anna, eleven, plots against a school yard nemesis while nursing a resentment for all things Parisian (barring chocolates and the macabre rat-catcher’s shop).
