Paris

A Love Story; a Memoir

De: Kati Marton

Narrado por: Kathe Mazur

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 15 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.

Kati Marton is the author of several books, including Enemies of the People, a National Book Critics Circle Award finalist and the subject of an upcoming motion picture, and the New York Times best seller Hidden Power, among others. She is an award-winning former correspondent for NPR and ABC News. She lives in New York City.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A great read - the lightness of love, the drama of war and sudden death - with Paris in the background." (Diane von Furstenberg)

"I stayed up last night and read this book cover to cover. I can’t remember the last time I did that. It is wonderful - touching, romantic, and honest - and oh, how it made me want to go to Paris!" (Barbara Walters)

"Kati Marton has written movingly about her love, loss, and the healing power of an elegant city. She takes readers on a journey, as she writes, to find a place where there is joy in remembered joy." (Diane Sawyer)

Paris by Kati Marton

So Beautifully written that one can imagine the smells sights and sounds of Paris. The live story is beautiful. The historical information made the story all the more interesting. The narrator’s voice and ability to speak French absolutely made it a joy to listen. I can’t wait to hear another of Ms Marton’s stories!

How Paris helped her grieve.

Any additional comments?

The author writes about her long-standing love affair with Paris and how Paris helped her heal after the death of her husband. I could really relate to the widowhood aspect of the book and I so want to visit Paris someday myself. I would be nice to have the money to buy myself a little apartment in Paris and relocate there but, alas, that doesn't seem to be in the cards. Enjoyed the book, in spite of the name-dropping.
