Book description
Through delightful drawings, photographs, and musings,
twenty-three-year-old Lucy Knisley documents a six-week trip she and her
mother took to Paris when each was facing a milestone birthday. With a
quirky flat in the fifth arrondissement as their home base, they set out
to explore all the city has to offer, watching fireworks over the Eiffel
Tower on New Year's Eve, visiting Oscar Wilde's grave, loafing at cafés,
and, of course, drinking delicious French milk. What results is not only
a sweet and savory journey through the City of Light but a moving,
personal look at a mother-daughter relationship.
"Wonderful....Read it and you will not be
disappointed." -- Whitney Matheson, Usa Today
