Title: Serious literature it is not...
Review: ... but surprisingly it does include discussions of serious literature. And eloquent details of sights and scenes in and around Paris. And delicious descriptions of delectable dishes. And self-mocking expositions on fashion -- frivolous and fairly serious. This novel transports the reader to Paris and delights with details in a way that helps the reader understand the hold that Paris has on Klein.Despite the light and airy accounts of her loves and losses, we come to see that Klein knows herself quite well, understands her own -- and others' -- motivations, and in a flippant way is very hard on herself. Just when you think, How many times will it take before this chick wises up?, she surprises with perceptive insights. She also whets the appetite for further adventures, as we are fairly confident that the end is not the end.
