A review by hproctor01
Perestroika in Paris by Jane Smiley

5.0

An absolutely delightful palate cleanser. A quick, light read but beautifully written with gorgeous imagery. I really enjoyed the whimsical world of Paris through the eyes of the animal characters and the lovely Etienne. Initially I had doubts of “what is this even about?” but quickly got lost in the world Smiley has created. The descriptions of Paras’ mannerisms and unique worldview were the icing on the cake as a self-identifying “horse person”.
