True Pleasure - A Memoir of Women in Paris |
This enchanting book by an Australian ex-diplomat in Paris is fresh, vibrant, historically accurate and personally honest and revealing . . . an unusually rewarding achievement. Accompanying her on her visits of discovery to the addresses of the famous women she discusses, we see Paris in a new light. Welding history with modernity, she also welds the serious with the frivolous and manages at the same time to establish an astonishingly personal link with the reader.
