Items related to Paris: A Love Story
Marton first spent time in Paris during college in 1968, when France was in revolt; as a young student she was inspired by researching the history of her survivalist family who had escaped from communist Hungary to France. Ten years later, Paris was the setting for her big career break as ABC bureau chief, as well as where she found passionate love with Peter Jennings, the man to whom she was married for 15 years and had two children. It was again in Paris, years later, where she found enduring love with her husband, Ambassador Richard Holbrooke. And it was to Paris where Kati returned in order to rebuild her spirit in the wake of Richard's death. Kati Marton's newest memoir is a candid exploration of many kinds of love, as well as a love letter to the city of Paris itself.

Review:
“Like . . . Didion, Joyce Carol Oates. . . . The book, short and intimate, reads like the wind from the urgency of the opening scene." (Susan Cheever Newsweek/The Daily Beast)
“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)
"[A] must-read . . . enthralling" (Vogue)
“Kati Marton has lived a thrilling and turbulent life. ... She fell in love with and married two famous men. ... She has been an eyewitness to history in all its cruelty. ... [I]n this memoir ... she grapples with an unexpected new stage of life: widowhood. ... [A] delicious read by a well-connected author." (The Washington Post)
“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)
"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)
