I was drawn to this book by the lovely cover and thought the story of European high society from around fifty years ago sounded intriguing. I also wanted to read more about 1960’s Paris, Geneva and Cannes and the book promised an insider’s peek. While I did feel that promise was fairly well fulfilled, the story itself wasn’t quite my cup of tea; I enjoy more action and for me it fell a bit flat at times.
It does seem as if the author did his best to research the time period and accurately describe it. I also appreciate the fact that he threw together two people who were most unlikely to end up in a relationship.
I’m sure those who love romance novels novels will appreciate the carefully crafted story more than I did.
