The Light of Paris by Eleanor Brown
3.0
It had Paris in the title and an Eiffel Tower on the cover...I'm helpless in the face of these things to stop myself from nabbing this book.
It didn't take long for me to realize that this book was going to be a disappointment. Both of the main characters, 1999-era Madeleine and her grandmother Margie, disparage themselves and undermine themselves and allow themselves to be manipulated and make bad decisions in order to go along with others. These ladies don't even like themselves; how could the reader possibly like them? The plot is pat, too; Margie needs a place to stay and a place to stay appears, and Margie needs a job and a job appears. Sadly, Paris in the title and an Eiffel Tower on the cover isn't enough.
