From the New York Times bestselling author of The Paris Library, a captivating story about a young woman who takes a job at the American Library in Paris, where she discovers the power of storytelling and writes her own Parisian chapter...
'A sparkling, heartfelt ode to libraries - and to the people who make them magical' KRISTIN HARMEL
Paris, 1995. It's been five years since Lily Jacobsen and her best friend Mary Louise arrived in Paris from their small town in Montana. Determined to establish themselves as artists, they shared a tiny apartment. But when Mary Louise moves out, Lily feels alone in the city of light and needs a new way to support herself. She lands a job as a programs manager at the American Library in Paris, following in the footsteps of Odile, her beloved French neighbour in Montana who told her stories of heroic World War II librarians when Lily was growing up.
At work, Lily meets an extraordinary cast of characters - including her favourite writer, struggling students, haughty trustees, and devoted volunteers - each with their own stories...and agendas. In the library's attic, Lily discovers a box of archives that may be a link to Odile's own Parisian chapter.
This moving story offers a panoramic view of a real historic institution, and revisits characters
from both of Janet Skeslien Charles's beloved novels. Lily's story is a love letter to the artist's life, friendship and leaving home only to find it again.
Real readers ADORED opening The Parisian Chapter:
'This is a story for anyone who's ever chased a dream, lost a friend, or found themselves in a place that feels like home - even if it's across the world. In The Parisian Chapter, Janet Skeslien Charles blends humor, heartbreak, and the magic of books'
'The Parisian Chapter is The Devil Wears Prada set in a library'
'A beautiful exploration of ambition, love, nostalgia, and the messiness of real friendships, especially the kind that evolve (or dissolve) as we grow'
