snukes 's review for:
The Only Street in Paris: Life on the Rue Des Martyrs
by Elaine Sciolino
I love Paris. I love snapshot stories. I love learning small, quirky pieces of history. There is a lot of all these things in this book, but somehow it didn't all come together for me. Sciolino and I are very different kinds of people, and the way she approached people and businesses on this street where she lives occasionally left me feeling rather anxious. I've been on the Rue des Martyrs before, but I would like to revisit now that I know a little more about it to see how it feels. Mostly, I guess, this book reminded me just how much I'm ready to travel again.
