The Paris Novel, a dazzling new book by Ruth Reichl, takes readers on an adventure of food, art, and fashion in 1980s Paris. When Stella's estranged mother dies and leaves her with a one-way ticket to Paris, Stella abandons her cautious nature in order to honor her mother's last wishes.
Once in Paris, she visits the iconic brasserie Les Deux Magots and meets an octogenarian art collector who introduces her to the vibrant Paris literary, art, and culinary worlds. Stella uncovers a hundred-year-old mystery in a Manet painting and discovers a passion for food. A feast for the senses, this novel is a testament to living deliciously, taking chances, and finding your true home.
Ruth Reichl is the New York Times bestselling author of five memoirs, the novel Delicious!, and the cookbook My Kitchen Year. She was editor in chief of Gourmet magazine, and previously served as the restaurant critic for the New York Times, as well as food editor and restaurant critic for the Los Angeles Times. She has been honored with six James Beard Awards.
