Paris Letters

De: Janice MacLeod

Narrado por: Tavia Gilbert

How much money does it take to quit your job? Exhausted and on the verge of burnout, Janice poses this question to herself as she doodles on a notepad at her desk. Surprisingly, the answer isn't as daunting as she expected. With a little math and a lot of determination, Janice cuts back, saves up, and buys herself two years of freedom in Europe. A few days into her stop in Paris, Janice meets Christophe, the cute butcher down the street - who doesn't speak English. Through a combination of sign language and Franglais, they embark on a whirlwind Paris romance. She soon realizes that she can never return to the world of 12-hour workdays and greasy corporate lingo. But her dwindling savings force her to find a way to fund her dreams again. So Janice turns to her three loves - words, art, and Christophe - to figure out a way to make her happily-ever-after in Paris last forever.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A romantic romp from Santa Monica to Paris with loads of advice on how to live minimally and take risks in life and love." ( Kirkus)

fun and light

easy read that offered some life advice. reminded me to enjoy the little things and mindset is a powerful thing.

Heartwarming and Delicous

The story really picks up after Ch9 so don’t abandon it. Also, get the book in print if you can. The drawings of her painted letters, inspired by the art of Percy Kelly melted my heart. Macleod’s (of the clan MacLeod ;-) account of seeing (really seeing) The Mona Lisa stuck with me while her comparison of lovers to gelato was so funny and the journey to her true self was heartwarming. Glad I gave it a listen!

Thought provoking

This is not the kind of book I usually read. (no plot or mystery) but I loved this book!

Interesting. No plot.

Interesting book, not much in the way. Good to have on in the background while you do other things.

Joie De Vivre

Reads like a joie de vivre memoir. Fun listen whilst driving. Some good advice in it.
