BookTrail Travel to The Paris Sister

This is the second in a trilogy about three sisters but I didn’t realise. Don’t let that put you off as it reads as a standalone and you will want to read the one before as I did.

The story is of a mother and her three daughters who are living in Canada, Cairo and Capri. Etta, is at the time of the novel in Paris and it’s there we join her, in the midst of the roaring 20s no less. That gave the author plenty of scope to recreate that magical time and so she did. There’s music, painters, art, historical figures throughout the novel. I find the mix of fact and fiction like this quite magical and this author does it well. Of course, the war was just over and another one was on the horizon but for now, the atmosphere in Paris is warm and inviting.

Etta is part of the IT crowd in Paris and it’s a world I would never have been in so it’s a delight to share it with her. Lots of anger at being a woman in a man’s world of course, but it was fascinating to see her journey at such a key time in history.

This is just one sister’s story but together I imagine this paints a very unique view of three countries in unique key moments in history. A saga that really opens up the family and what life was like at the time.

I will be getting the others in the series.
