PARIS, Twenty-year-old American student Julie Scolnik arrives in the City of Light to study the flute when, from across a sea of faces in the chorus of the Orchestre de Paris, she is drawn to Luc, a striking (married) French lawyer in the bass section. This deeply moving tale of an ebullient young American and a reserved Frenchman will transport readers to the cafés, streets, and concert halls of Paris in the late seventies, and, spanning three decades, evolves from deep romance to sudden heartbreak, and finally to a lifelong quest for answers to release hidden immutable grief. A deeply felt, bittersweet reflection on how youthful passion changes you and clings to you forever, PARIS BLUE is a true fairy-tale memoir with a dark underbelly about the tenacious grip of first love. 1976:
From the Author: THIS STORY HAS BEEN LOITERING in the corridors of my psyche for over forty years, and I always knew that one day I would have to tell it. I am beyond grateful to so many friends who kindly and patiently read my earlier (very rough) drafts, and offered encouragement and reassurance that it was a story worth telling. This is a story that has embedded itself in my heart and mind for four decades. It is time to share it .
