Travel Guide

Booktrail it from Paris to London with The Death of Me

Paris

Fighting and danger in Paris? The seedy side of the city is what you see here. From Porte de Clichy and its debtor’s prison to the area around Pigalle and the Moulin Rouge, you see every side of life here.

London

The area in and around Soho is where the novel largely is set:

“The roads are clogged with coaches, cabs, equestrians, pedestrians. Stray dogs and think children dart in and out of the teeming milieu, causing more confusion. Costermongers line the gutter, brandishing baskets of coasl, pottery, baked eel, puppies. By the time they pick their way around a phaeton with a broken axle, they are running late.”
