The Light of Paris by Eleanor Brown

4.0

I excited to read this book originally when I picked it out because of the I thought The Light of Paris was going to be about how Madeline broke free of her toxic relationship with the wisedom she gained while reading her grandmother’s diary. While The Light of Paris followed the plot I expected I found it to be a slow read. I personally found the part of the novel that was in Madeline’s grandmother,Margie’s, perspective more interesting than the sections from Madeline’s perspective.

This novel used different types of tones in Madeline and Margie’s perspectives. While Madeline’s sections consisted of a dreary tones, Magrie’s sections consisted of a hopeful and joyful tones. The difference in the tones illustrates the theme of the importance of following your dreams and the effect that has on a persons happiness.I would recommend this book to a person who loves travel and France but is prepared for a slow read.
