In My Own Words:
Nice to meet you! For me, books have always been a "great escape." I even like the FEEL of a book in my hands. And browsing old bookstores, well, that's just a treat anytime!

I suppose some widowed women could afford to move to Paris and live the kind of privileged life that Gershman enjoys...then again, not everyone has the financial resources to lead such a glamourous life. The above is the main difficulty I had with this otherwise amusing little book. Gershman writes as though she is telling her readers "how to do it". ("It" being moving to Paris and beginning a new way of life in a new cultural environment). But I think she writes for someone other than women of "average" financial means. Ah, well!
