Publisher Description

A New York Times bestseller

For readers of Eat Pray Love, Under the Tuscan Sun, and The 4-Hour Workweek, comes a funny, romantic, and inspiring travel memoir about a woman who quits her job, moves to Paris, and finds love—and herself.

Exhausted and on the verge of burnout, Janice MacLeod cuts back, saves up, and buys herself two years of freedom in Europe. In Paris, Janice meets Christophe, the cute butcher down the street—who doesn't speak English. They embark on a whirlwind Paris romance, and she soon realizes she can never return to the world of twelve-hour workdays. But her dwindling savings force her to find a way to fund her dreams again. So Janice turns to her three loves—words, art, and Christophe—to figure out a way to make her happily-ever-after in Paris last forever.

Not only is this a charming nonfiction love story, but it's also filled with financial tips, including MacLeod's list of "100 Ways to Save," and other practical advice to make your dream of living abroad reality. Paris Letters invites you to experience the magic of Paris, find inspiration in Janice's journey, and perhaps, ignite your own quest for a life less ordinary.

Praise for Paris Letters:

"Janice MacLeod's charming Paris Letters takes us on her starry-eyed discovery of Paris, the joys of learning the French language, a unique career in art and, best of all, the romance of a lifetime! C'est bon!"—Lynne Martin, author of Home Sweet Anywhere

"Written as though to a best friend telling her story over lattes—or café crème. Relatable and inspiring ... cleverly crafted with wit and unexpected wisdom"—New York Journal of Books

"Aspirational fiction? No, a true story to inspire similar dreamers out there."—National Geographic's "Intelligent Travel"

A wonderful gift for the armchair traveler, artist, and people who love to travel.

What a delight!

I highly recommend this book. It has everything...romance, Paris, humor and an author who dares to share not only her triumphs but also her struggles along the way. Her paintings of various Paris locales are so beautiful! A gifted storyteller as well as artist.

A lovely read

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Some touching moments and also inspirational. I could relate to the writer, since we're both Canadian expats, living in Europe, with past advertising careers! I particularly liked the story about Rose and have a great love of France and Paris so it was nice to read about things that were familiar to me.
