A review by georgie_mb
Paris Echo by Sebastian Faulks
4.0
This book didn’t completely blow me away, but it also didn’t leave me bored either!
I loved the storyline from the perspective of both characters that shifted from one to another in each chapter. They certainly are flawed (which I love) and a real contrast from each other. I did find the character of Hannah a little flat, but that is part of her nature. I think I just wanted a little more sometimes, even when she talks about her failed romance with the Russian poet.
I really loved how at different points, the smaller characters and events find their way subtly into the main characters chapters, it’s very cleverly done!
The main thing that kept me reading was the portrayal of Paris!! I’m a sucker for travel, and being restricted from being able to do that right now is hard. So this book with all its descriptions of this wonderful city had me yearning to jump on the Eurostar ASAP!
