Loved the historical recount of the land, the wineries and the wine makers, didn't love the superfluous progression of modern wine closing chapters.

Customer Review:
Dominique Lesbros annoys me.
I've been to Paris a gazillion times, lived there for months, get around without a map. I not only have favorite restaurants, I have favorite dishes at them. I'm looking right now at a concert stub from a top-ten-ever Bruce Springsteen concert at the Bercy Arena.... more info

Customer Review:
SCOTTI is a masterful storyteller. This reads like a great who-dunnit, lots of energy, intrigue and history all spun together in a way that's hard to put down. A historical page-turner! Scotti has such ease and charm with the written word, making the telling of history a treat to read.

from Viking Adult
Price: $3.98

Customer Review:
If you had a head for heights in 1886, you would not have been without a job. If you were American, you could have helped with the construction of the Statue of Liberty. An Englishman, Tower Bridge; but in France only Frenchmen could work on the construction of the Eiffel Tower. Today we tend to... more info

from Random House Trade Paperbacks
Price: $6.00

Customer Review:
This book is truly one-of-a-kind. I sat, rivited, reading page-after-page about pianos, the people who play, repair, and worship them. I was delightfully engrossed by minutiae. This book has no real story, but the characters, intertwined with their pianos, are thrillingly alive and compelling.... more info

8.[no image]Paris After the Liberation
from Doubleday
Price: $76.49

Customer Review:
This is definitely worth reading, covering an ill-understood time in French history. I really enjoyed Beevor's the Fall of Berlin and Stalingrad, and was expecting much from this book. For the most part, it delivers. However, it could have used a more sharp-eyed editor. Some examples: Personages... more info

9.Strapless: John Singer Sargent and the Fall of Madame XStrapless: John Singer Sargent and the Fall of Madame X
from Tarcher
Price: $13.96

Customer Review:
The book itself could have used some better editing, as the author has trouble weaving together two different life stories as well as the necessary cultural background.
But the stories themselves are fascinating, especially to fans of late 1800s art. This tells the tale of an artist, a society... more info

10.Almost French: Love and a New Life In ParisAlmost French: Love and a New Life In Paris
from Gotham
Price: $3.95

Customer Review:
Fascinating reading that helps one understand the rude treatment that Americans and others meet in Paris. The love story is understated in favor of the anthropological study of the motivators of the French people. This makes for unique reading!
