Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from My Parisian Year: A Woman's Point of View
There are two kinds of critics, those who complain that roses have thorns, others who are grateful that thorns have roses. I think the writer might have added a third - those who are thankful that roses have thorns! Thorns do add so much to the attraction of roses. I trust that the readers of these desultory jottings will realise this. The very imperfections of the Parisians tend to make the study of them the more interesting. The perfect is so dull.
