Synopsis

This is a memoir for anyone who has ever fallen in love in Paris, or with Paris-and for anyone who has ever had their heart broken or their life upended. In this remarkably honest memoir, award-winning journalist and distinguished author Kati Marton presents an impassioned and romantic story of love, loss, and life after loss. Paris is at the heart of this deeply moving account. At every stage of her life, Paris offers Marton beauty and excitement, and now, after the sudden death of her husband, Richard Holbrooke, it offers a chance for a fresh beginning. With intimate and nuanced portraits of Peter Jennings, the man to whom she was married for fifteen years and with whom she had two children, and Richard, with whom she found enduring love, Marton paints a vivid account of an adventuresome life in the stream of history. Inspirational and deeply human, Paris: A Love Story will touch every generation. "A great read-the lightness of love, the drama of war and sudden death-with Paris in the background."-Diane von Furstenberg

Kati Marton is as interesting a writer as she is a person, and this exceptionally frank and revealing memoir captures both aspects of her being. She begins with the last days of Richard Holbrooke, then traces through the highs and lows of her two marriages, to Holbrooke and, before that, to Peter Je......more

Goodreads review by Nan on December 29, 2012

I wanted to like this book, I really did. The title, the jacket blurbs, even the cover photo led me to believe it was just the book to read right now. Sadly, after struggling through the first half, I had to force myself to finish just to make sure I had not missed the point somehow. Yes, Marton is......more
