July Staff Pick: The Paris Novel

The Paris Novel by Ruth Reichl (Random House), picked by bookseller Gina

When her mother dies Stella is left with a one way ticket and an unusual request “Go to Paris”…

Very similar to myself, Stella isn’t one to stray to far out of her comfort zone, but impulsively she honors her mother’s final request.

Here’s where the fun starts: through fashion, new friends, a mysterious painting and most importantly FOOD Stella begins to understand what it truly means to live YOUR life, take chances, and live your life to the fullest. (Hey, I quit my job and moved to Key West!)

This book is a true feast for the senses (especially your taste buds – did I mention the food???)

Transport yourself to Paris and LIVE!
