Thirty Days in Paris: The gorgeously escapist, romantic and uplifting new novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author

Product Information

Paris has never appealed to me until I read this book and now I'm tempted to pack my bags and experience it for myself. It's a lovely story of a woman finding herself again after one phase of her life comes to an end as well as finally coming to terms with events of thirty years earlier and is written with all of Veronica Henry’s usual flair and warmth. But Juliet has also been keeping a secret for over two decades - and she begins to realise it's impossible to move forwards without first looking back. What Veronica Henry shows you is that life begins at whatever point an individual decides and all that is needed is to be a tiny bit brave.

Thirty Days in Paris by Veronica Henry | Hachette UK

Our heroine Juliette's story is narrated in first and third person format with a timeline set thirty years apart. Years ago, Juliet left a little piece of her heart in Paris – and now, separated from her husband and with her children flying the nest, it’s time to get it back! I was instantly transported to Paris this book which initially starts with an alternating between then and now of Juliet's life when she starts off in her 20s and travels to become an au pair with a French family in Paris and the now where her children have flown the nest and she's split with her husband and wondering were the next part of her life will take her, but wants to spend the next 30 days back in Paris reminiscing and reconnecting to put things right after her last stay in Paris 30 years ago. This book felt like it was written for my generation of women in their mid fifties who feel that life is passing by too quickly and wonder what life may have been like if we’d made different choices……. I've just been reminded was an amazing author Veronica is and will definitely be seeking out those books I haven't yet read in the near future.I found Thirty Days in Paris emotionally mature, intelligent and appealing so that Veronica Henry moved me to tears with her ability to convey Juliet’s inner thoughts and feelings so effectively. She was so excited to be going to Paris for thirty days, a place where she spent time as an Au Pair when she was much younger and where she left the love of her life. I felt a lot like the main character in many ways as every time I live in a place, I feel I leave a little bit of me behind. I'm so glad they got reunited though at first it wasn't smooth, they just are so good together as a couple. It’s probably not very realistic on an every day basis but the book certainly made me want to revisit the city and to try and find some of Juliet’s bars, restaurants and markets.

She had a couple of moments where she doubted her and Stewart’s decision to separate but deep down she knew they had done the right thing for both of them. Juliet’s separation and subsequent divorce from her husband are told with real warmth and I was left wishing that all relationships could end so beautifully. I love how she reconnected with Olivier and Nathalie, how they worked through her leaving Paris and were able to get back to the strong friendships they once shared.

I didn't want it to end and read this book for hours at a time, needing to know what happens to the main character Juliet and her friends and family next. Every other page is peppered with locations, names of restaurants and cafes, French phrases with or without their translation and the various ways of making your way round the city. Rewind thirty years and she's a naive teenager who wants to see the world so when she sees an advert for an au pair she jumps at the chance. After her 25 year marriage ended she decided to give herself some time to discover who she is now and who she wants to be.

Here is a quick description and cover image of book Thirty Days in Paris written by Veronica Henry which was published in February 2, 2023. Set in Paris, which is a place iv never really hankered after to go to but with Veronica being the absolute master of descriptive writing I would now love to. Oh my goodness I absolutely loved this so much, I just couldn’t get enough of it, it had everything that I love about a good book. Her descriptions of food, aromas and places are so evocative that reading Thirty Days in Paris made me desperate to head back there as soon as I can. If you've ever been in Paris, this is a great read, because you will be visualising everything through her writing.A gloriously escapist read, evoking all the sparkling sights, sensations and style of the most romantic city in the world with the irresistible effervescence of Veronica's writing. Det är ett lite segt parti en bit in i boken, men det tar sig igen, så det är inte en av mina favoriter av författaren, men den kommer på en god - delad - andraplats tillsammans med de flesta av dem. On a side note, having lived in Worcester all my life, Veronica won’t be winning any prizes from Worcester Tourist Board as it comes across as the most boring place in the world 🤣😂 - seriously though. Juliet is in her early fifties, her children have grown up and flown the nest and she and her husband have decided that they are no longer ‘in love’ and have separated.
