    About this audiobook

    Anita Hughes's Christmas in Paris is a moving and heartwarming story about love, trust, and self-discovery. Set during the most magical week of the year, the glorious foods and fashions of the most romantic city in the world are sure to take your breath away.

    Isabel Lawson is standing on the balcony of her suite at the Hotel de Crillon as she gazes at the twinkling lights of the Champs-Élysées and wonders if she’s made a terrible mistake. She was supposed to be visiting the Christmas tree in the Place de la Concorde, and eating escargots and macaroons with her new husband on their honeymoon. But a week before the wedding, she called it off. Isabel is an ambitious Philadelphia finance woman, and Neil suddenly decided to take over his grandparents' farm. Isabel wasn't ready to trade her briefcase for a pair of rubber boots and a saddle.

    When Neil suggested she use their honeymoon tickets for herself, she thought it would give her a chance to clear her head. That is until she locks herself out on the balcony in the middle of winter. Thankfully her neighbor Alec, a French children’s illustrator, comes to her rescue. He too is nursing a broken heart at the Crillon for the holidays. With a new friend by her side, Isabel is determined to use her time in the "city of lights" wisely. After a chance encounter with a fortune teller, and a close call with a taxi, she starts to question everything she thought was important.

      Oct 18, 2023

      During Christmases of the 1950s and 1960s, Northern Irish children knew nothing of present mountains. What we did know about was dancing and skipping for weeks in anticipation of the one present we knew we would get. This surprise sat tantalisingly b

      Another truly horrible book by Anita Harper made even worse by the WORST French accents imaginable. Avoid at all costs.

      This is my second Anita Hughes and while she is good at evoking Christmas traditions, there are a lot of problems. The story was predictable, the characters shallow, the love scenes abrupt, and the narrator did not do a good job with French accents or pronunciation. It is a Christmas story and that is pleasant in itself, but other than that it is not good quality.
    • 1/5
      The French accent (done quite bad) ruined everything. Totally not needed.
    • 3/5
      I really enjoyed the other books by Anita but I found this one less interesting.
