About this deal

It’s probably not very realistic on an every day basis but the book certainly made me want to revisit the city and to try and find some of Juliet’s bars, restaurants and markets. Set in Paris, which is a place iv never really hankered after to go to but with Veronica being the absolute master of descriptive writing I would now love to. I've just been reminded was an amazing author Veronica is and will definitely be seeking out those books I haven't yet read in the near future.

Thirty Days in Paris: The gorgeously escapist, romantic and

I've read a few Veronica Henry books and enjoyed every one but Thirty Days in Paris, tops them all and feel this will be my book of the year. She has published sixteen novels which she describes as realistic escapism - her setting are gorgeous, but her characters have problems and dilemmas everyone can identify with. What will happen during the next thirty days in Paris is entirely up to her and she is ready to tell her story. Juliet is in her early fifties, her children have grown up and flown the nest and she and her husband have decided that they are no longer ‘in love’ and have separated. The books featured on this site are aimed primarily at readers aged 13 or above and therefore you must be 13 years or over to sign up to our newsletter.We see how she settles into her new life and meets old friends and we also get the story of how they first met and formed their relationships in that first visit. Every other page is peppered with locations, names of restaurants and cafes, French phrases with or without their translation and the various ways of making your way round the city. What Veronica Henry shows you is that life begins at whatever point an individual decides and all that is needed is to be a tiny bit brave. Proving that romance, adventure and starting over isn’t just for twenty-somethings, this is the story of a recently divorced mother who decides to see if the pull she’s felt towards Paris since she worked there as a young au pair is still there - along with the love she felt for the young man she met there. It's a favourite city to visit for me , and reading about it always has me feeling nostalgic for those lovely times.

It was written so beautifully with so much detail you could really feel the atmosphere of Paris and it felt magical. Rewind thirty years and she's a naive teenager who wants to see the world so when she sees an advert for an au pair she jumps at the chance. Obstacles happen , but you can feel the chemistry between the two lead characters as you are swept along with them as they explore Paris together. There was no rushed ending and the book was perfectly paced and took me away to the romantic city of Paris and all it's delights and locations with every page, whether a chic boutique, restaurant or even Juliet's accommodation and friends she makes along the way.

It’s fascinating how Juliet’s first person ‘Ingenue’ sections are gradually uncovered with a hint of mystery that leads Judith to her current third person narrative. Well this gorgeous book proves that Paris IS always a good idea, even if that’s just escaping there for a while in literary form!
