Three Weeks in Paris

One of the most delightful books I have read in a long time. If you want to escape the daily stress and pressures of your busy life, by all means, read this book. I could not put it down. The plot is fairly simple, the characters memorable. An enjoyable, easy read as you curl up in your favorite chair on a rainy weekend, or stretch out on your lounge chair in the sun in your backyard.

Great plot about friendship and love......

I enjoyed both the main plot and the sub-plots. But as usual, with a BTB book, it was the characters that captivated me. I adored Anya....a gracious, elderly lady, with a zest for life and a true understanding of both life and love.I felt the plot concerning the estranged friendship was very true to life....many times, female friendships fall apart over something so petty the actual cause is long forgotten.Having been to Paris more times than I can count, I loved being transported back there from my sofa. Once again I walked the streets Barbara mentions and dined in the restaurants I remember so well. She is very authentic in her descriptions of my beloved Paris.I highly recommend this book, so do yourself a favor....order it and escape to Paris and a great story.

A Great Escape

If good books are supposed to transport us from our ordinary lives to someplace worthwhile, then Three Weeks In Paris in as good as they get!You have got to hand it to BTB for coming up with great story after great story with memeroble characters and wonderful locations. In this case, Barbara selects Paris as a backdrop and creates a mystery, an old feud and three love stories as the plot. It's not brain surgery, but its complelling story telling.This is the perfect page turner for anyone looking to escape the doldrums. And its even better at a paperback price!One of Barbara's best books in years!

Great Detail

Although this narrative was not riviting it did leave me with a desire to visit PARIS. Bradford writes with a fimilarity of her setting but at times the plot bogs down in too much detail. Her characterizations were authentic and the dialogue progressed the story with ease, still I know Bradford has produced better.Beverly J Scott author of Righteous Revenge

A CONSUMMATE READING

Acclaimed Broadway actress Kate Burton is spectacular in this reading of Barbara Taylor Bradford's 18th novel, which is spiced with romance, mystery, excitement, and, of course, problems to be overcome. What a pair - Ms. Burton, surely one of today's most accomplished actresses and Ms. Bradford, the bestselling doyenne of women's stories.. A dynamic duo! With her 85th birthday approaching, Anya Sedgwick, head mistress of an exclusive arts school, invites her four favorite former pupils to return to Paris to celebrate this important milestone. While they were once the closest of friends, Alexandra, Kay, Jessica, and Maria departed the school as enemies. Worlds apart, the women have pursued their individual dreams - Alexandra is a set designer, a valued member of Broadway's theatre community; Kay is a successful dress designer who has married and moved to Scotland; Jessica is an interior designer based in California; and Maria has joined her family's textile business in Italy. The invitation from Anya elicits different emotions in each of the women, yet a blend of curiosity and a yearning to perhaps heal old wounds compels each of them to attend the celebration. As always, Ms. Bradford is a pro at creating alluring settings and fashionable people. Her penchant for painting idyllic surroundings is matched by Ms. Burton's consummate reading. - Gail Cooke
