Lynda Marron's debut novel published by Eriu the Irish imprint of Bonnier Books is a heartwarming and moving examination of love, life and loss. Although there are multiple points of view the charaters at the heart of the story are Claire and Ronan, an Irish couple in a last ditch attempt to repair their marriage. The narrative weaves through their backstory and that of a number of other characters; a Hollywood director, an elderly Frenchwoman, a young Ukranian refugee, an American law student, as they visit the famous spots of Paris; Notre Dame, Pere Lachaise, The Louvre and cross each others paths over the weekend as each of their stories culminates in decisions and revelations. Marron is a fresh and talented new voice in Irish writing and one to watch, her work will appeal to fans of Camel Harrington and Rowan Coleman.
Thank you to Eriu Books for a review copy.
