Reviews | A Great Read-The Lightness of Love, the Drama of War and Sudden Death-With Paris in the Background., Paris provides a backdrop for this absorbing memoir of love and painful loss, played out on the larger stage of world politics....On a first-name basis with the political movers and shakers on a global stage, Marton has observed world politics in the making and makes space for readers on her catbird seat., A great read--the lightness of love, the drama of war and sudden death--with Paris in the background., I stayed up last night and read this book cover to cover. I can't remember the last time I did that. It is wonderful-touching, romantic and honest-and oh, how it made me want to go to Paris!, "Marton offers an intimate look at her adventurous life in a book that is part romance, part travelogue, and part memoir of journalism and diplomacy." - Booklist, "Kati Marton is a writer of great clarity and grace. Paris: A Love Story is a revealing memoir about the contours of her own humanity, rendered with precision and honesty. It is a memorable story of love, loss and landscape that is as expansive as her remarkable life." - Steve Coll, author of Private Empire: ExxonMobil and American Power, I stayed up last night and read this book cover to cover. I can't remember the last time I did that. It is wonderful--touching, romantic and honest--and oh, how it made me want to go to Paris!, Like . . . Didion, Joyce Carol Oates. . . . The book, short and intimate, reads like the wind from the urgency of the opening scene., Kati Marton has lived a thrilling and turbulent life. ... She fell in love with and married two famous men. ... She has been an eyewitness to history in all its cruelty. ... [I]n this memoir ... she grapples with an unexpected new stage of life: widowhood. ... [A] delicious read by a well-connected author., Paris provides a backdrop for this absorbing memoir of love and painful loss, played out on the larger stage of world politics….On a first-name basis with the political movers and shakers on a global stage, Marton has observed world politics in the making and makes space for readers on her catbird seat., "Paris provides a backdrop for this absorbing memoir of love and painful loss, played out on the larger stage of world politics….On a first-name basis with the political movers and shakers on a global stage, Marton has observed world politics in the making and makes space for readers on her catbird seat." - Kirkus Reviews, Like . . . Didion, Joyce Carol Oates. . . .The book, short and intimate, reads like the wind from the urgency of the opening scene., "A great read-the lightness of love, the drama of war and sudden death-with Paris in the background." - Diane von Furstenberg, "Like the others-Didion, Joyce Carol Oates, and Abigail Thomas, to name a few-Marton defies the conventional wisdom that good writing is Wordsworthian emotion recollected in tranquility; she seems to be writing the story as it is happening. The book, short and intimate, reads like the wind from the urgency of the opening scene. ... Great writing is often about yearning, yearning for a lost place, a lost love, or just a lost moment in time. Marton knows a lot about longing for the past. ... This book feels like her way of keeping Richard Holbrooke alive if only on the page. It works." -Susan Cheever, Newsweek/The Daily Beast, "Kati Marton has written movingly about her love, loss, and the healing power of an elegant city. She takes readers on a journey, as she writes, to find a place where there is joy in remembered joy." - Diane Sawyer, Kati Marton is a writer of great clarity and grace. Paris: A Love Story is a revealing memoir about the contours of her own humanity, rendered with precision and honesty.

Read Paris in Paris
Bought for my annual month in Paris. Enjoyed passing the streets and sights I was reading about; hoped to spot the author. Of more interest to readers who know of Peter Jennings and Richard Holbrooke.
