Paris Was Ours by Penelope Rowlands is a wonderful read. I lived there for five years and visiting Paris on holiday and actually living there as an expat for a few years are a vastly different experiences. How one experiences this beautiful place full of contradictions greatly depends on one’s stage in life. This book of essays proves my point. Take the time to enjoy this wonderful book!
Paris Was Ours is full price on Amazon and Kobo and is not available at all on IBooks even though Apple is listed as a source. Is there really a sale on or not? None of the sites I shop has the 1.99 price.
