“Dr. Caroline Strange had something horrific happen when she was thirteen or, so we are led to believe. She is now a psychiatrist and is supposed to be helping others because of this trauma.

“An excellent middle grade read from Kimberly Brubaker Bradley. Miriam is a 12 year old Jewish girl living in Paris after leaving Berlin a few years before, and she escapes with her 2 year old neighbor to the countryside and finds herself living in a convent and posing as Marie. She ends up finding herself in a position to help the Jewish cause in a dangerous but important way. I thoroughly enjoyed the narration and think both children and adults would enjoy this book. ”

“For anyone who can't afford to go to Paris right now, listen to this! It's a cold glass of Chablis with fresh oysters at an outdoor bistro table. It's an original, custom, Dior black dress that fits perfectly and smells of apricots and vanilla. It's an art mystery solved. It's funny and memorable characters. It's about finding yourself in a city that values beauty, and quality. Ruth Reichl's Paris is one I would like to escape to anytime! ”
