katejolley 's review for:

Paris to the Moon by Adam Gopnik
5.0

The idea of running away to Paris with your young family and actually melting into the culture is fantastical. This book brings to life that journey in a way that makes me fall in love with the written word all over again. Gopnik’s writing is beautiful and contemplative, witty and logical, lyrical and deep, treating us all to life in Paris from the fabulous (he does write for the New Yorker after all) to the ordinary.
