Join the beloved former restaurant critic of the New York Times, and the bestselling author of Save Me the Plums and Delicious!, as she unveils her mouthwatering new novel, a dazzling, heartfelt adventure through the food, art and fashion scenes of 1980s Paris.
A must-read for food lovers and Francophiles alike, The Paris Novel tells the beguiling story of Stella, whose estranged mother leaves her an unusual inheritance: a one-way plane ticket and a note reading, “Go to Paris.”
From this irresistible premise, Ruth Reichl delivers a feast for the senses, following Stella’s adventures as a “tumbleweed” at famed bookstore Shakespeare & Company, her discovery of a hundred-year-old mystery in a Manet painting, and a growing passion for food that may be connected to her past.
Discover the book that’s been hailed by tastemakers like Nigella Lawson, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Padma Lakshi as “a true gem,” from one of the world’s top food writers: a testament to living deliciously, taking chances and finding your true home.
In conversation with writer and editor Ceri Marsh.
