A review by emmatarswell
Paris Was Ours by Penelope Rowlands
3.0
As with most collections there were stories in this that I enjoyed and others that I did not. That being said I think the collection is a fairly good representation of the joys and trials that come with living in Paris.
Most people will probably think that this will be a glowing depiction of the city and written mainly for people who already have an obsessive love of the city (even if they haven't lived there or been there). Paris Was Ours is more of an honest account from different writers and their experiences of the city. Some focus on the city itself, while others focus on their own lives and just happen to be in Paris.
Overall, this collection is worth a look if you're a reader interested in Parisian life.
