As a longtime fan of Ruth Reichl's exquisite food writing, I was thrilled to dive into The Paris Novel. This book is a sumptuous journey through 1980s Paris, following Stella as she navigates grief, discovers her passions, and explores the city's vibrant culinary and artistic scenes. Reichl's vivid descriptions of Parisian brasseries, delectable dishes, and charming characters brought the city to life in a way that only she can. As a fellow food writer, I found myself completely immersed in Stella's transformation and the rich tapestry of flavors and experiences she encounters. The Paris Novel is a beautifully crafted story that celebrates the joy of living deliciously and the magic of embracing life's unexpected adventures. Five stars for this enchanting, sensory feast of a book!
