Last Chance in Paris by Lynda Marron

5.0

For some reason I had it in my mind, that this was to be a gentle rom-com novel. However, I soon realised that the aptly named “Last Chance in Paris” was a powerful, poignant and a profoundly emotional story, that hooked my heart from the very first page. 

I loved all of the characters, each with a special back story that brings them to Paris, all for different reasons. How they all unknowingly interconnected with each other was exceedingly clever and displayed a very talented author to be able to create such seamless relationships. Grief, pain, love, lost years and displacement through war, all featured within the characters lives and created for me, an instant affinity with them. There are a few emotional triggers that may affect some readers but are conducive to the reason why the characters are included in the story and these are handled with care and respect. 

As I turned the final page, I gave a huge heartfelt sigh for this beautiful novel, feeling happy sadness but also bereft that the story had finished and to how one of the character’s story ended. 

I had to take a long pause before picking up another book to read, to give this book the respect it deserved. I really did enjoy “Last Chance in Paris” and I’d happily recommend it, you won’t be disappointed.
