Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is Paris really the eternal City of Love? Dumped suddenly by her Parisian boyfriend, sultry expat Lily is left wondering if je t'aime still exists. Instead of crying into her glass of wine, she decides to heal her bruised ego and quash her romantic doubts with a carefree summer fling . . . or as the French call it: une aventure. Supported by her faithful friends and trusty Saint Amour wine, Lily embarks on her presumably easy quest. Little does she know what-or whom-this adventure has in store! Rather than guide her into the arms of a perfect summer amoureux, the sexy streets of Paris lead her from one impossible candidate to another: disappearing foxy Frenchmen, unavailable Latino heartthrobs, overly-mysterious world travelers, mistress-hunting married men, and not-so-single amnesiacs-oh la la! As her amorous mishaps accumulate, Lily gradually re-evaluates her strategy. But will her good intentions be enough to lead her to the right homme . . . one who might last out the summer-and maybe even beyond? Or will she continue to get embroiled in more mesaventure? This novelized memoir tells the tantalizingly true romantic odyssey of a 21st-Century young woman caught in the mire of desires-which is only intensified by the passion of Paris.

Download or read book Jours of Our Lives written by and published by . This book was released on 2019-05-06 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BETH ARNOLD'S Jours of Our Lives is the narrative of one couple's wild-card bet on themselves. In 2002, after living 13 years in their showplace of a Craftsman bungalow in Little Rock, Arkansas, Arnold-a journalist, essayist, and novelist-and her husband, author James Morgan, decided it was time for a change.And what a change they made! When Morgan, a book writer and amateur painter, was stumped for a new book idea, Arnold saw the chance to pull out a dream of hers: to live in France. Arnold's late brother, New York decorator Brent Arnold-whom David Halberstam had called "the talent of his generation"-had given the couple vivid decorating advice when they'd married and moved into their Craftsman house: "Matisse colors and Vuillard patterns." Brent Arnold's advice had turned James Morgan into a devotee of Henri Matisse. So on a day in 2001, when Beth was working with James to help him discover a new book idea, she suggested a facet of artistic life--in this case, Matisse's life--that gripped Morgan: Most people look, but they don't see in the deepest sense of the word. Her idea for him was a book called "Learning to See," in which he would follow in the footsteps of Henri Matisse. The book became Chasing Matisse, and soon the two of them had sold their beloved house in Little Rock and embarked on a life-changing journey through France, Corsica, Morocco, and beyond.Jours of Our Lives, which began life as Beth Arnold's daily blog recounting the soap-opera arc of their crazy and heart-wrenching road trip in pursuit of a creative dream, stands today as a vivid depiction of one couple's brave and unwavering commitment to a life that called them. "Beth Arnold," writes William Whitworth, editor emeritus of The Atlantic, "is a reporter, a novelist, a memoirist, a cook, and a mom, but perhaps most of all she is a wanderer and a gifted travel writer. With wit and offhand ease, Arnold shows us her world: how to get there, where to stay, what it looks like, how it sounds, and what it tastes like."
