“Yes, I protected my solitude but it was a form of self-protection, born of self-awareness and past sorrow. And yes, there were times when I probably went too far.. but I never meant to exclude, or keep myself snobbishly, apart, or any of the other things they said about me. I wished I could make people understand that when I said I had plans, it was genuine: I had plans with myself.”

Beautifully researched and written. I enjoyed learning more about post war Paris and imagining Jackie’s time there. It was a quick read with a good story arc.

Incredibly slow. Was there ever a climax or a plot line?
