Anyone who has read books by this author will want to listen to this audio recording (and if readers have not read her earlier novels, I highly recommend them). Some characters and places from the earlier works are in The Parisian Chapter, especially Lily, Odile and the wonderful American Library in Paris.

This recording tells an involving story through many characters. It is voiced by twelve narrators representing the different people. They include , in addition to Odile and Lily, Lily’s close friend Mary Louise, a young man in whom Lily becomes interested, authors, and the many who work at the library, are on the board, or attend events there.

This audio production is of very high quality. I loved hearing the different voices as each character narrated their chapters. I recommend this audio book to anyone who enjoys stories set in Paris with believable characters who have dreams.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster Audio Originals for this title. All opinions are my own.

Pub date: 27 May 2025

Note that as far as I know, The Parisian Chapter will only be an audio resource. I do not think that there are plans to publish this one in book form.

I love to read, recommend books and open the world of reading to others. I tutor to ensure that the next generation of readers will know the joys of a good book because their reading skills have improved. I am an avid reader, especially of mysteries and fiction. I believe that two of the world's greatest inventions were the public library and eyeglasses!
