"Kati Marton is a writer of great clarity and grace. Paris: A
Love Story is a revealing memoir about the contours of her own
humanity, rendered with precision and honesty. It is a memorable
story of love, loss and landscape that is as expansive as her
remarkable life." --Steve Coll, author of Private Empire:
ExxonMobil and American Power
"A great read--the lightness of love, the drama of war and sudden
death--with Paris in the background." --Diane von
Furstenberg
"Like the others--Didion, Joyce Carol Oates, and Abigail Thomas, to
name a few--Marton defies the conventional wisdom that good writing
is Wordsworthian emotion recollected in tranquility; she seems to
be writing the story as it is happening. The book, short and
intimate, reads like the wind from the urgency of the opening
scene. ... Great writing is often about yearning, yearning for a
lost place, a lost love, or just a lost moment in time. Marton
knows a lot about longing for the past. ... This book feels like
her way of keeping Richard Holbrooke alive if only on the page. It
works." --Susan Cheever, Newsweek/The Daily Beast
"Kati Marton has written movingly about her love, loss, and the
healing power of an elegant city. She takes readers on a journey,
as she writes, to find a place where there is joy in remembered
joy." --Diane Sawyer
"I stayed up last night and read this book cover to cover. I can't
remember the last time I did that. It is wonderful--touching,
romantic and honest--and oh, how it made me want to go to Paris!"
--Barbara Walters
"Marton offers an intimate look at her adventurous life in a book
that is part romance, part travelogue, and part memoir of
journalism and diplomacy." --Booklist
"Paris provides a backdrop for this absorbing memoir of love and
painful loss, played out on the larger stage of world
politics....On a first-name basis with the political movers and
shakers on a global stage, Marton has observed world politics in
the making and makes space for readers on her catbird seat."
--Kirkus Reviews
