The Paris Novel by Ruth Reichl
Stella has always lived simply in defiance of her neglectful, glamorous mother. But when her mom dies and leaves Stella with a plane ticket to Paris, she decides to go, against her better instincts. There, a chance discovery sets off a grand adventure that includes a benevolent art collector, a historic bookstore and its residents, and Stella’s senses awakening to all the delectable indulgences life has to offer. This book is a banquet of food, fashion and found family.
