Klein is a New York fashionista with a great resume, a terrific boyfriend (on paper) and showstopping Tribeca triplex. She has trunk-fulls of fabulous footwear, but not the significant relationship she' d longed for-- no, "expected"-- to have by now. And there' s something else: she' s "fou" (that' s crazy) for France, for French men, for "la vie Francaise," Fleeing her Big Shot boyfriend and bidding "adieu "to it all, Klein starts over in Paris. From a tiny walk-up in the 7th that she had to lie (in broken Franglais) to get, Klein plunges into the mysterious world of Gallic Men: the casually sexy Renaud, a prototypical Frenchman with a flute of Moet and a Galoise always at the read; trying to keep everybody straight when she dates three men named Jean at the same time; and a completely wrong Monsieur Married Aristocrat, who wants Klein for his very well-kept mistress. An American in Paris never had life so good-- Cafe Flore, painting in a garret, afternoons in the Jardins Luxembourg-- or so bad. But Klein isn' t going to get over her passion for France and it' s men anytime soon. PARIS HANGOVER is a funny, fresh novel about trying on a new life for size-- and about "cherching le homme" in the process. " This is a witty mousse, yet it also is unsparing without cruelty, ambitious not vicious, chic without the inevitable creak of a writer trying too hard." -- Jacquelyn MitchardLobe, Kirsten is the author of 'Paris Hangover ', published 2006 under ISBN 9780312355685 and ISBN 0312355688.
