Paris in Love: A Memoir

In 2009, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author Eloisa James took a leap that many people dream about: she sold her house, took a sabbatical from her job as a Shakespeare professor, and moved her family to Paris. <i>Paris in Love: A Memoir</i> chronicles her joyful year in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.<br> <br> With no classes to teach, no committee meetings to attend, no lawn to mow or cars to park, Eloisa revels in the ordinary pleasures of life - discovering corner museums that tourists overlook, chronicling Frenchwomen's sartorial triumphs, walking from one end of Paris to another. She copes with her Italian husband's notions of quality time; her two hilarious children, ages eleven and fifteen, as they navigate schools - not to mention puberty - in a foreign language; and her mother-in-law Marina's raised eyebrow in the kitchen (even as Marina overfeeds Milo, the family dog) . <br> <br> <i>Paris in Love</i> invites the reader into the life of a most enchanting family, framed b<i>y la ville de l'amour</i>.
