When bestselling romance author Eloisa James took a sabbatical from her day job as a Shakespeare professor, she also took a leap that many people dream about: She sold her house and moved her family to Paris.
With no classes to teach, no committee meetings to attend, no lawn to mow or cars to park, Eloisa revels in the ordinary pleasures of lifediscovering corner museums that tourists overlook, chronicling Frenchwomens sartorial triumphs, walking from one end of Paris to another. She copes with her Italian husbands notions of quality time; her two hilarious children, ages eleven and fifteen, as they navigate schoolsnot to mention pubertyin a foreign language; and her mother-in-law Marinas raised eyebrow in the kitchen (even as Marina overfeeds Milo, the family dog).
Paris in Love invites the reader into the life of a New York Times bestselling author and her spirited, enchanting family, framed by la ville de lamour.
