From the grand master of the historical novel comes a dazzling, epic portrait of the City of Light

Internationally bestselling author Edward Rutherfurd has enchanted millions of readers with his sweeping, multigenerational dramas that illuminate the great achievements and travails throughout history. In this breathtaking saga of love, war, art, and intrigue, Rutherfurd has set his sights on the most magnificent city in the world: Paris.

Moving back and forth in time across centuries, the story unfolds through intimate and vivid tales of self-discovery, divided loyalties , passion, and long-kept secrets of characters both fictional and real, all set against the backdrop of the glorious city—from the building of Notre Dame to the dangerous machinations of Cardinal Richlieu; from the glittering court of Versailles to the violence of the French Revolution and the Paris Commune; from the hedonism of the Belle Époque, the heyday of the impressionists, to the tragedy of the First World War; from the 1920s when the writers of the Lost Generation could be found drinking at Les Deux Magots to the Nazi occupation, the heroic efforts of the French Resistance, and the 1968 student revolt.

With his unrivaled blend of impeccable research and narrative verve, Rutherfurd weaves an extraordinary narrative tapestry that captures all the glory of Paris. More richly detailed, more thrilling, and more romantic then anything Rutherfurd has written before, Paris: The Novel wonderfully illuminates hundreds of years in the City of Light and Love and brings the sights, scents, and tastes of Paris to sumptuous life.

I so wish I’d listened to this before I went to Paris last year! I knew a very small amount of Parisian history, but this made so much of it tangible in a really endearing way. I sometimes wish it had been told In a more linear timeline, but I understand the author’s delight in the “gotcha” moments. As with all audiobooks, I sometimes have a hard time remembering what century we’re in (which is why I like the more linear timeline), but I loved it & now want to go back to Paris!!!!

Aaah, Paris!

Yes--I listened to this three times over two years, and enjoyed many little tidbits I'd missed while racing towards the narratives evolution. Try it sometime when you've really loved a story--listen again! This is worth an again, especially if you have ever been there, or hope to.

Trois!

I chose this to learn more about Paris in an entertaining way. The story provided this more than I hooed. I did take away one star because there were some loose threads in the storyline but still worth he listen. The narrator is entertaining as well and keeps the story flowing.

plethara of info and entertainment

I love this book. I’ve listened at least two times.
Loved the narrator. It’s long but worth it.

A great listen!

A nice review of what Paris is and was. I have been to every location described. I love them all. It was a pleasant travelogue. Fairly evenhanded in judging the roles the French played in Western history. Long section could have been. Glad I “ read” it.

Interesting overview, but moves too slowly
