Product Information

The authors love for Paris shines in this book, she made me believe I was their experiencing it all with them. Juliet’s separation and subsequent divorce from her husband are told with real warmth and I was left wishing that all relationships could end so beautifully. Alas, that is but a dream. As she arrives in Paris, Juliet is enchanted by the bijou apartment that she has rented and gets a real feel for life as an artist. As her memories from her earlier visit return, it’s not easy to understand why she ever left her original life behind. Of course, as we follow her experiences reuniting with former friends, we learn more about her reasons for leaving. 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. 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. I thoroughly enjoyed Juliet’s friendship with both Nathalie and Olivier. There’s something quite wonderful about friendships that endure the pressures of time. To return to an earlier feeling of love and familiarity with no more than a slight hiccup in connection is a very special thing. In particular, I would love to grab a table at The Girl Who Cried Champagne and sample the mouth-watering food that is described there.

Thirty Days in Paris: The gorgeously escapist - WHSmith

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. As Juliet Hiscox left 42 Persimmon Road, she knew life would never be the same again. But that’s good right? Freedom is good.

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. Another excellent book from Veronica Henry this time set in Paris. An engaging read you cannot help but be drawn into the relationship between Juliet and Oliver, alongside evocative and fantastic descriptions of Paris, this makes this book a heart-warming enjoyable read. I enjoyed this book and look forward to the next book from Veronica Henry Laura Griffin is preparing for an empty nest. The thought of Number 11 Lark Hill falling silent - a home usually bustling with noise, people and the fragrant smells of something cooking on the Aga - seems impossible. Laura hopes it will mean more time for herself, and more time with her husband, Dom. Our heroine Juliette's story is narrated in first and third person format with a timeline set thirty years apart.

Juliet finds herself single again after her marriage of twenty five years has come to an amicable end, as she and her husband Stuart no longer want the same things, so she sets off on a journey to rediscover herself, and where better than Paris, the place she fell in love thirty years ago and found the love of her life, Olivier. What will happen during the next thirty days in Paris is entirely up to her and she is ready to tell her story... 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. The story is just wonderful as Juliet lays to rest the demons of her past. I found Thirty Days in Paris emotionally mature, intelligent and appealing so that Veronica Henry moved me to tears with her ability to convey Juliet’s inner thoughts and feelings so effectively. Despite the fact that Thirty Days in Paris is uplifting and liberating with love at its core, it tugs at the heart strings too with its vibrating, melancholic sense of missed opportunities and what might have been. At the same time, this is a story of hope and encouragement. Forget youth. Forget life beginning at forty. 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. I thought this message was outstanding. Nu har barnen flyttat hemifrån och maken och hon har gått skilda vägar. Så hon ger sig själv en månad att skriva klart sin bok - i Paris. Och kanske återfå känslan för staden och dess invånare. Speciellt ett par… Oh my goodness I absolutely loved this so much, I just couldn’t get enough of it, it had everything that I love about a good book.Absolutely perfect for anyone who loves Paris and twisty love stories - a five star read!' LORRAINE BROWN 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. Wow, wow, WOW. Her best and most perfect book yet. I adored every word. Sublime, as always‘ JILL MANSELL I knew that I was in for a very special treat when I started reading. There’s something quite magical about the way Veronica Henry writes and I happily submitted to the text and was swept away. There is a dual timeline feel to this story as we read about Juliet’s modern-day visit to Paris, alongside revisiting her early experiences as a young girl. 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.

Thirty Days in Paris by Veronica Henry | Orion - Bringing You

Juliette is boring and one dimensional and the big reveal as to why she leaves Paris turns out be a damp squib too. The storyline of this book was wonderful, I loved meeting Juliet who was this beautiful strong lady about to embark on her own journey of self discovery. After her 25 year marriage ended she decided to give herself some time to discover who she is now and who she wants to be. She had a couple of moments where she doubted her and Stewart’s decision to separate but deep down she knew they had done the right thing for both of them. She was so excited to be going to Paris for thirty days, a place where she spent time as an Au Pair when she was much younger and where she left the love of her life.
