Paris for Life

<p><strong><em>Paris police were to my left and the protesters to my right. Naively I strolled between them. Then I heard the gunshots.</em></strong></p><p>When a chance friendship offered him the trip of a lifetime a twenty-one-year-old Barry Frangipane swapped the familiar beaches of Florida for the passion and peril of 1970's Paris. What followed was a year of dodging bullets begging for food and escaping a terrorist bombing. All while slowly falling for the girl who'd invited him there - a love that was to remain entwined with Paris forever.</p><p>In this warmly nostalgic and sharply witty memoir Barry weaves surprising historical insights through his fondest memories -past and present - of the City of Light. From the brioche to the bombs the cafes to the cathedrals <em>Paris for Life</em> is an examination of what it means to be wholly captivated by a city and eternally changed by its lessons.</p>
