Author Alex George on The Paris Hours
July 9, 2020 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm EDT
Alex George discusses his new novel, The Paris Hours with book blogger Suzanne Leopold.
Paris between the wars teems with artists, writers, and musicians, a glittering crucible of genius. But amidst the dazzling creativity of the city’s most famous citizens, four regular people are each searching for something they’ve lost. Over the course of a day in 1927, the paths of four people seeking the extraordinary spiral closer and closer, until they collide in one moment. Inspired by the diaries of Marcel Proust's maid, Alex George brings to life a vibrant city, its well-known landmarks, secret side streets, and achingly human residents. This book is perfect for the 2020 Adult Summer Reading Challenge: Read a book by an author speaking a the library!
