Paris Broke Me (In) Kimberly Labor

Paris Broke Me (In) People the world over flock to visit beautiful Paris, the "City of Light" and a global center of art and culture. But in this lively travel memoir, Kimberly Labor describes a different Parisian world, one experienced by a student of modest means back in Paris of the late 1970s, before the days of the personal computer, the internet, and the mobile phone. It is a rather lonely world, with lodgings in a mansard room at the very top of an old apartment building in the Latin Quarter, and yet filled with rich and highly entertaining encounters with the widest variety of fellow Parisian residents, from noblemen to street beggars. Those who are fascinated by Paris and who have sharp memories of the struggles of their own student years will be delighted by this newest book by Kimberly Labor. Kimberly Labor, educated in France, England, and the USA, is the author of three previous works focusing upon the pulse-quickening challenges of ever-beloved youth: I Dream of You Still: Early Years in Bath, Beatrice Aflame, and Philippa Feast. She lives in New York City.
