Meer oor hierdie oudioboek
This audiobook is read by a full cast, led by actress Pauline Chalamet (The Sex Live of College Girls, The King of Staten Island).
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Paris Library and The Librarians of Rue de Picardie comes a charming and cinematic multi-cast audiobook following a young woman from Montana who lands a job in the American Library in Paris, where she discovers the power of storytelling and writes her own Parisian chapter.
Paris, 1995: It's been five years since Lily Jacobsen and her best friend Mary Louise arrived from their small town of Froid, Montana. Determined to establish themselves as artists - Lily, a novelist, and Mary Louise, a painter - they share a tiny sixth-floor walk-up and survive on brie and baguette.
When Mary Louise abruptly moves out, Lily feels alone in the City of Light for the first time and is in need of a new way to support herself. She lands a job as the programs manager at the American Library in Paris, following in the footsteps of her French neighbour Odile, who infused her childhood with tales of heroic World War II librarians. Here in the storied halls of the ALP, Lily meets an incredible cast of characters - her favourite author, quirky co-workers, broke students, and high society trustees - each with their own stories...and agendas. Personal dramas sometimes take precedence over books and patrons.
Between her hard-nosed boss not letting up and her best friend letting go, Lily is stressed and bewildered. When it becomes clear that the Library is facing serious financial struggles and its future is uncertain, she must look beyond her own problems in order to protect the ALP and the precious memories it holds.
This moving, propulsive story features twelve different voices, led by French-American actress Pauline Chalamet (The Sex Lives of College Girls), and offers a panoramic view of a real historic institution, revisiting characters from both of Charles's beloved novels. Lily's story is a love letter to the artist's life, the importance of friendship and leaving home only to find it again.
