Wow, wow, WOW. Her best and most perfect book yet. I adored every word. Sublime, as always' JILL MANSELL I loved meeting Olivier, Natalie and the Beaubois family too. Corrine adds a poignancy to the story that is a catalyst for Juliet’s life but the lightness of touch in Veronica Henry’s writing of this element is just perfect.

The authors love for Paris shines in this book, she made me believe I was their experiencing it all with them.Nu har barnen flyttat hemifrån och maken och hon har gått skilda vägar. Så hon ger sig själv en månad att skriva klart sin bok - i Paris. Och kanske återfå känslan för staden och dess invånare. Speciellt ett par… Juliette is boring and one dimensional and the big reveal as to why she leaves Paris turns out be a damp squib too. Very enjoyable read. Fantastic setting and full of twists and turns. Warm, romantic with a sprinkling of glamour. I miss the characters already! The two timeframes helped to piece the story together and provide the platform for the present perspective. Skilfully written and a great read.

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. A great piece of escapist fiction to curl up with. However there is the boy that is now a man that she left behind with no explanation , Olivier who you can't help but fall for twice over as you read this book. Her first love , that was snatched cruelly away by two very selfish people , one that had me cursing at him for what he did. I knew that I was in for a very special treat when I started reading. There’s something quite magical about the way Veronica Henry writes and I happily submitted to the text and was swept away. There is a dual timeline feel to this story as we read about Juliet’s modern-day visit to Paris, alongside revisiting her early experiences as a young girl. The story is just wonderful as Juliet lays to rest the demons of her past. 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. Despite the fact that Thirty Days in Paris is uplifting and liberating with love at its core, it tugs at the heart strings too with its vibrating, melancholic sense of missed opportunities and what might have been. At the same time, this is a story of hope and encouragement. Forget youth. Forget life beginning at forty. 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. I thought this message was outstanding.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. För drygt 20 år sedan var Juliet au pair i Paris - hon trivdes med familjen och hon hittade både vänner och kärleken. Men så hände en sak som gjorde att hon lämnade staden tvärt och hon har försökt glömma.

Thirty Days in Paris by Veronica Henry | Orion - Bringing You

Laura Griffin is preparing for an empty nest. The thought of Number 11 Lark Hill falling silent - a home usually bustling with noise, people and the fragrant smells of something cooking on the Aga - seems impossible. Laura hopes it will mean more time for herself, and more time with her husband, Dom. During her stay Juliet wants to write down the story of her visit when she was an au pair to a young couple and their three children. The story is told as a dual time-line with Juliet’s present day story alternating with the chapters of her book as she writes them. We see how she settles into her new life and meets old friends and we also get the story of how they first met and formed their relationships in that first visit. A Night On the Orient Express a-night-on-the-orient-express 0 November 4, 2007 A Night On the Orient Express I'm so glad they got reunited though at first it wasn't smooth, they just are so good together as a couple. Obstacles happen , but you can feel the chemistry between the two lead characters as you are swept along with them as they explore Paris together. What can I say about this book? I love Veronica Henry, her writing is always so perfect. She's my choice when it comes to summer readings, but also Christmas time stories.Christmas at the Beach Hut christmas-at-the-beach-hut 0 November 15, 2012 Christmas at the Beach Hut The Ingenue storyline is set in the 90s however I had to keep reminding myself of this fact. It reads more like a young naive girl from the 50s or 60s who is scandalised by the sex shops and shows in La Pigale and has never in her life heard Je T'aime by Jane Birkin.

Juliet was a bit of a dark horse. I felt sorry for her at first with her husband and her kids not really in her life anymore. Then she went to Paris and started to reveal her past and her secrets. It was a great way to tell a story as it felt real. We all have secrets that we haven’t told family, that we hold deep in our hearts, and this felt as if Juliet was sharing this with me. Another excellent book from Veronica Henry this time set in Paris. An engaging read you cannot help but be drawn into the relationship between Juliet and Oliver, alongside evocative and fantastic descriptions of Paris, this makes this book a heart-warming enjoyable read. I enjoyed this book and look forward to the next book from Veronica Henry Reunited with her friend Nathalie (such a vibrant and likeable character ) that you'd want as a friend , you get to see some of the old Juliet returning with a zest for life and a remembrance of how much she enjoyed the city of Paris , the food , the atmosphere and an idea springs to her that they should write a book alongside the one she's writing for herself during her 30 days stay. Our servers are getting hit pretty hard right now. To continue shopping, enter the characters as they are shown Paris is the real star of the story. This is the Paris of love stories, full of lovely shops, beautiful art and friendly bar men, a Paris where all of the men are good looking and the women are impossibly well-dressed. 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.Proving that romance, adventure and starting over isn’t just for twenty-somethings, this is the story of a recently divorced mother who decides to see if the pull she’s felt towards Paris since she worked there as a young au pair is still there - along with the love she felt for the young man she met there. PDF / EPUB File Name: Thirty_Days_in_Paris_-_Veronica_Henry.pdf, Thirty_Days_in_Paris_-_Veronica_Henry.epub If you've ever been in Paris, this is a great read, because you will be visualising everything through her writing. But don't worry if you've never been to the city of Light: Veronica's writing is so wonderful you will be able to picture yourself there, too.
