PopSugar 2019 reading challenge #18
This book is so late 1920s Paris that [a:Ernest Hemingway|1455|Ernest Hemingway|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1654446435p2/1455.jpg] made an appearance. If you love historic settings, the accuracy of precisely chosen street names and locations, as well as real-world figures popping into your story -- this is the book for you. Honestly, it has a gorgeous setting.
We follow four main characters throughout one day in Paris, 1927, and at first we think these are just random events. In some cases, the day starts off boring, even. But eventually all four characters are woven together and interconnect and come together.
It reads a little slow at first, but picks up the pace as you get closer to the end. I would call it "literary fiction" before anything else, but also would highly recommend it for those who love books set in Paris or those who truly love post-war fiction.
