The Last Time I Saw Paris

Elizabeth Adler's books always entertain, they always bring smiles to my face and sometimes an ache in my heart, I'm so involved with her characters, but it's hard to beat Lara and Dan in Last Time I Saw Paris. Read and enjoy a vicarious trip through France given to you by a master of descriptive narrative - you'll believe you were there and since Ms. Adler tells us all the places she visits are real, you could in fact go there. Which is exactly what I plan on doing - with a husband who hasn't dumped me for another woman I'm glad to say.

How talented she is! Elizabeth Adler made another classic! I recently read "The Last Time I Saw Paris", and thoroughly enjoyed it. I travelled with Lara and Dan, ate at the restaurants, savored the food, and even walked the streets of southern France. I too have a love affair with the magical city of Paris - and with France, and the writer brought the locations alive in a very special way. And, as well, she shared Lara's personal conflicts and emotions until Lara becomes 'her own woman'. I heartily recommend to all women of 'a certain age', to all travellers - and to lovers.

I cannot recommend Elizabeth Adler's THE LAST TIME I SAW PARIS highly enough. I loved it! She makes it all so real, and brings Paris with its restaurants, cafes, bars, shops, museums to such large life, I wanted to be there, and in magical Provence and the Cote d'Azur. In this book, I could almost smell the lavender and rosemary and the sea. Elizabeth Adler also drew me into the love story of Lara and Dan, as well as Lara's search for the woman she feels she has "lost somewhere on the road of life". ( a road whose emotions many woman will idenify with). She does this on an intimate, sensual level, expressing Lara's doubts and fears as well as the new pleasures her younger lover,Dan,brings to her life. It's a MUST read!

Lara Lewis has her second honeymoon all planned - airline tickets, reservations at hotels and restaurants, car rentals - all at the same places where she and her husband, Bill, visited on their first honeymoon. There is only one problem - her husband cancels out on her and takes a business trip with his young associate doctor.After talking with "the Girlfriends", Lara decides to go anyway. But then she impulsively invites Dan, the younger man who is repairing her deck, to go with her. He does and what an adventure it is!From overbooked flights, hotel reservations not held, bad weather and "someone" not being able to read a map correctly and all the other mishaps that can happen on a vacation to wonderful finds when they just "go with the flow", its a great read for us.The author visited all the places in France that are in the book and it shows. It's a wonderful, imaginative escape with some surprises on the way.Pick it up and let some wonderful writing take you to France and a great adventure.

Lara Lewis just turned forty-five, but is miserable, and has been ever since her husband of twenty-five years began to ignore her desires. He refuses to allow her to accompany him on his business trip to China, which adds to Lana's belief that he is cheating on her with his assistant. Still she looks forward to her upcoming second honeymoon trip with Bill when he returns to the states.Bill calls from China informing Lana their trip is off. Outraged, Lara decides to go to France without Bill. To her own amazement, she invites the carpenter working on her deck to join her. Even more amazing, the thirtyish Tom Holland accepts because he finds Lara very attractive. Overseas, the couple bickers, shares madcap adventures, and enjoys each other company until love intercedes and decisions must be made.THE LAST TIME I SAW PARIS is a fun to read lighthearted romantic romp that will leave the audience in stitches of laughter as they observe the loving duo dives head first from one crazy incident to another. Elizabeth Adlerís tale has a serious undertone as the heroine must face reality and see her husband for what he is and not how she wants him to be. Romance lovers will thoroughly enjoy this first class ride into true love.Harriet Klausner
