概要

 From the New York Times bestselling author of The Paris Library and Miss Morgan’s Book Brigade, a charming and “richly populated” (New York Journal of Books) novel about two small-town girls with big dreams who move to Paris to become artists. But dreams don’t just come true. They require nurturing, as do friendships.

Paris, 1995: It’s been five years since Lily Jacobsen and her best friend Mary Louise arrived in Paris from their small town of Froid, Montana. Determined to establish themselves as artists, they shared a tiny walkup and survived on brie and baguettes. But when Mary Louise abruptly moves out, Lily feels alone in the city of light for the first time and needs a new way to support herself. She lands a job as a programs manager at the American Library in Paris, following in the footsteps of Odile, her beloved French neighbor in Montana who told her stories of heroic World War II librarians when Lily was growing up.

At work, Lily meets an extraordinary cast of characters—including her favorite writer, struggling students, haughty trustees, and devoted volunteers—each with their own stories...and agendas. In the library’s attic, Lily discovers a box of archives that may be a link to Odile’s own Parisian chapter.

This “stirring and rich with detail” (Kristin Harmel, New York Times bestselling author) story is a love letter to the power of literature, the life of the artist, the importance of friendship, and leaving home only to find it again. 友情 大衆小説 女性文学 成長 文芸小説 歴史小説

批評家のレビュー

"An ensemble enthusiastically depicts the American Library in Paris in this novel. Patrons and staff share their experiences, taking listeners behind the scenes of the renowned institution. Program Director Lily from Montana and her friend, Mary Louise, both portrayed by Pauline Chalamet, carry the story, including a subplot that involves a search for the long-lost friend of their elderly French neighbor, portrayed by Elizabeth Wiley...Most compelling are Lily’s library programs, which are served up with brie and wine, and Matt Godfrey’s Tolstoy, a Gulf War veteran with PTSD who is protected by everyone. Audio creates the sensation that the library’s walls are talking about its past and present."
"A delightful love letter to the glorious American Library in Paris, The Parisian Chapter by Janet Skeslien Charles enchants. Those who loved The Paris Library and Miss Morgan's Book Brigade, also by Charles, will be pleased to find continuations of their favorite characters' stories in this audiobook delight, while those who are new to Charles's work will be just as swept away by a colorful cast of characters--voiced by a talented full cast--who work, study, and volunteer in the famed library, which sits in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower. Listeners will love Charles's spot-on descriptions of the City of Light--from Louis Vuitton handbags to Gitanes cigarettes to the cheap Burgundy and brie on which many young expats survive. If you love Paris, don't hesitate to say "Oui oui!" to this sparkling, heartfelt ode to libraries--and to the people who make them magical." (Kristin Harmel, New York Times bestselling author of The Stolen Life of Colette Marceau)
“I loved The Parisian Chapter, the completely immersive story of a young woman working in the American Library in Paris. Actress Pauline Chalamet is an incredible narrator, and I loved falling under the spell of this cinematic story.” (Amanda Eyre Ward, New York Times bestselling author of The Jetsetters )
“The Parisian Chapter is feel-good escapism at its most fun. Brought to life by a strong ensemble cast and rich in French detail, this audiobook follows the ups and downs of a young American writer coming into her own in mid-90s Paris. Magnifique!” (Rebecca Hardiman, author of Good Eggs)
“The Parisian Chapter is a smart and charming story of a young American writer in France, as well as the many fascinating people she encounters as an employee at the American Library in Paris. The talented cast brings to life deep friendships, the joy of new romance, and a true appreciation for books, writers, and librarians; I could not stop listening until I reached the audiobook's perfect ending.” (Amy Poeppel, author of Small Admissions)
