I devoured this book as soon as I got it. I loved the setting, 1930s Paris and environs, a visual feast for the senses with the oh-so-French emphasis on clothes, food, wine, etc. I especially liked Georgia and her sense of self and the freedoms she enjoyed, but curiously enough I was more interested in the love story between her and her recently deceased husband, Olivier.
He comes across as a wonderfully romantic guy that poor Theo paled in comparison. And I had nothing but contempt for Dominic; what a spoiled brat! I recommend this book for its change of pace and for its lush sensuality; don't be surprised if you find yourself clamoring for Georgia and Olivier's story.
