Product Information

I must admit that I will read anything about the city Paris whether it's fiction or factual. I have a love affair with Paris after several visits on holiday. It's a favourite city to visit for me , and reading about it always has me feeling nostalgic for those lovely times. Wow, it's not often I want to give 6 stars out of 5 for a book, but this is it. 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. I didn't want it to end and read this book for hours at a time, needing to know what happens to the main character Juliet and her friends and family next. However there is the boy that is now a man that she left behind with no explanation , Olivier who you can't help but fall for twice over as you read this book. Her first love , that was snatched cruelly away by two very selfish people , one that had me cursing at him for what he did. Wow, wow, WOW. Her best and most perfect book yet. I adored every word. Sublime, as always' JILL MANSELL I'm so glad they got reunited though at first it wasn't smooth, they just are so good together as a couple. 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.

Thirty Days in Paris by Veronica Henry | Waterstones

During her stay Juliet wants to write down the story of her visit when she was an au pair to a young couple and their three children. The story is told as a dual time-line with Juliet’s present day story alternating with the chapters of her book as she writes them. 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. Very enjoyable read. Fantastic setting and full of twists and turns. Warm, romantic with a sprinkling of glamour. I miss the characters already! The two timeframes helped to piece the story together and provide the platform for the present perspective. Skilfully written and a great read. Reunited with her friend Nathalie (such a vibrant and likeable character ) that you'd want as a friend , you get to see some of the old Juliet returning with a zest for life and a remembrance of how much she enjoyed the city of Paris , the food , the atmosphere and an idea springs to her that they should write a book alongside the one she's writing for herself during her 30 days stay. This time, with Thirty Days in Paris, she brings us a delicious story that kept me hooked until the end. I love books that besides entertaining, also teach me something, and in this one I have learnt thar Apero Dinners are a hit. I am going to try it.

Juliette is boring and one dimensional and the big reveal as to why she leaves Paris turns out be a damp squib too. If you've ever been in Paris, this is a great read, because you will be visualising everything through her writing. But don't worry if you've never been to the city of Light: Veronica's writing is so wonderful you will be able to picture yourself there, too.

Tesco's , vibrant pink with a gold resplendent Eiffel Tower standing out . I knew I immediately had to read it.

The authors love for Paris shines in this book, she made me believe I was their experiencing it all with them. Juliet was a bit of a dark horse. I felt sorry for her at first with her husband and her kids not really in her life anymore. Then she went to Paris and started to reveal her past and her secrets. It was a great way to tell a story as it felt real. We all have secrets that we haven’t told family, that we hold deep in our hearts, and this felt as if Juliet was sharing this with me. What can I say about this book? I love Veronica Henry, her writing is always so perfect. She's my choice when it comes to summer readings, but also Christmas time stories.

För drygt 20 år sedan var Juliet au pair i Paris - hon trivdes med familjen och hon hittade både vänner och kärleken. Men så hände en sak som gjorde att hon lämnade staden tvärt och hon har försökt glömma. Wow, wow, WOW. Her best and most perfect book yet. I adored every word. Sublime, as always‘ JILL MANSELL Paris is the real star of the story. This is the Paris of love stories, full of lovely shops, beautiful art and friendly bar men, a Paris where all of the men are good looking and the women are impossibly well-dressed. 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. As Juliet Hiscox left 42 Persimmon Road, she knew life would never be the same again. But that’s good right? Freedom is good.

It's a lovely story of a woman finding herself again after one phase of her life comes to an end as well as finally coming to terms with events of thirty years earlier and is written with all of Veronica Henry’s usual flair and warmth. A great piece of escapist fiction to curl up with.
