"City of love. City of splendour. City of terror. City of dreams."

Inspired by the haunting, passionate story of the city of lights, this epic novel weaves a gripping tale of four families across the centuries: from the lies that spawn the noble line of de Cygne to the revolutionary Le Sourds who seek their destruction; from the Blanchards whose bourgeois respectability offers scant protection against scandal to the hard-working Gascons and their soaring ambitions.

Over hundreds of years, these four families are bound by forbidden loves and marriages of convenience; dogged by vengeance and murderous secrets; torn apart by the irreconcilable differences of birth and faith, and brought together by the tumultuous history of their city. Paris bursts to life in the intrigue, corruption, and glory of its people.

Beloved author of Sarum, London, and New York, Edward Rutherfurd illuminates Paris as only he can: capturing the romance and everyday drama of the men and women who, in 2,000 years, transformed a humble trading post on the muddy banks of the Seine into the most celebrated city in the world.

Eleştirmen yorumları

"From the ice-age to the present day, Rutherfurd's scope is vast. Both historical novel and adventure epic, this is a work of universal appeal.'' ( Kirkus UK, on Sarum)
''Hold your breath suspense, buccaneering adventure, and passionate tales of love and war.'' ( The Times, on London)

Would you listen to Paris again? Why?

What did you like best about this story?

The blend of history with family saga.

What about Jane Wymark and Jonathan Keeble ’s performance did you like?

Good clear and unobtrusive.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Nope.

Any additional comments?

All round an I interesting and stimulating listen. Looked have looked for further books - plenty in reading but none for audible. London, New York, Madrid . . . .yes please. .


Great blend of history and story

A gripping story from beginning to end, following several Parisian families from the Belle Epoch of the 1880s through to 1969, with flashbacks from the medieval period onward. The families concerned, from the aristocrats to the workers, cross paths over the centuries and affect each other's lives.

Very enjoyable narration by Jane Wymark (of Midsomer Murders fame) and Jonathan Keeble.

Another brilliant read from Edward Rutherford.
