Q & A with the Author
What was your inspiration to write Paris, Rue des Martyrs? City life inspired me. The idea that every day, we might pass the same people as we walk down the street, yet what do we know about their lives? What would happen if our paths crossed? One of my favorite genres is literary fiction, so I decided to write a novel in that vein about life-changing encounters, liaisons and entwined paths.
What kind of story is Paris, Rue des Martyrs? I hope it will be an emotional read. Paris, Rue des Martyrs is about the importance of encounters. It is a story of family, friendship and coming of age. It is about love and loss, and healing wounds of the past. And it is a Paris love story, of course. It's not your classic Paris romance, but rather a different take of the types of relationships one encounters in this fabulous city: a French affair with a twist.
So many books have been written with Paris as the setting. What sets yours apart? any books are about the Paris of berets and baguettes. Paris, Rue des Martyrs is about the reality of Paris life… living in a Montmartre neighborhood, sitting at a café, being Parisian by adoption in this melting pot of a city.
If you like stories of encounters, family secrets and relationships, I think you'll enjoy Paris, Rue des Martyrs. Thanks for reading!
