ReviewsI 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! - Barbara Walters, "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!" -- Barbara Walters, eoeKati 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, A great read-the lightness of love, the drama of war and sudden death-with Paris in the background., "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, "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, 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.

This is a memoir for anyone who has ever fallen in love in Paris, or with Paris. PARIS: A LOVE STORY is for anyone who has ever had their heart broken or their life upended. In this remarkably honest and candid memoir, award-winning journalist and distinguished author Kati Marton narrates an impassioned and romantic story of love, loss, and life after loss. Paris is at the heart of this deeply moving account. At every stage of her life, Marton finds beauty and excitement in Paris, and now, after the sudden death of her husband, Richard Holbrooke, the city offers a chance for a fresh beginning. With intimate and nuanced portraits of Peter Jennings, the man to whom she was married for fifteen years and with whom she had two children, and Holbrooke, with whom she found enduring love, Marton paints a vivid account of an adventuresome life in the stream of history. Inspirational and deeply human, Paris: A Love Story will touch every generation.
