Her writing made vivid pictures in my mind, and I'm always fascinated by stories about journalists. In the end, it was disappointing that she never came to terms with the relationship with her mother, and even in her eighties, was still so self-centered that it never occurred to her that her long-lost love might have found and loved another.This books is not awful but somehow it didn't hook me.

It also didn't tie together into a cohesive story. As an American shenanigans s allowed self confidence and freedom., but as a person witnessing European standards to religion and status she gains some empathy.Michele Zackheim’s novel “Last Train to Paris” is an incredibly immersive novel of a young female journalist in Europe in the years leading up to WWII told from the perspective of an elderly woman looking back on her life and career.Michele Zackheim’s novel “Last Train to Paris” is an incredibly immersive novel of a young female journalist in Europe in the years leading up to WWII told from the perspective of an elderly woman looking back on her life and career.A uniquely crafted story that is one elderly woman’s reminiscence of her time spent as a American journalist in Paris and Berlin as Europe is changing as Germany and Hitler are beginning their rise to power.

Get track Finally, I simply wrote myself off the canvas and onto the lavender quadrille pages of a bright orangeFor many years I was a visual artist exhibiting in museum and galleries, both in the united States and Europe. So what we have is a story about a woman journalist during WWII - an American who was directly touched by the horrific events in Berlin as the Nazi machine geared up - but I feel like it was a story being told by her narcissistic mother. Perhaps it would have worked better if the author had just told the story in an active way and then had an epilogue at the end to show present day Rose looking at her notebooks. by Europa Editions 1,041

Finally, I simply wrote myself off the canvas and onto the lavender quadrille pages of a bright orange notebook. Here's a sample of the dialogue: "Oh how I can still feel my body leaning toward him, my lips almost touching his, whispering." And that mother returned to her as a surprise after her father died, causing no end of problems. Now in her eighties, a trunk arrives on her doorstep.

I didn't feel like I was there in New York, Paris, and Berlin because I kept running into elderly Rose back in the country thinking about the bad old days and that jolted me out of the events over and over. The heart of this story is lost by ridiculous, romantic dialogue. In 1936 she went to work at the foreign desk in Berlin.It's been fifty-two years since Rose Manon left Paris. Counting on the dates I have been with you. Posted to Paris, she is soon entangled in romance, an unsolved murder, and the desperation of a looming war.

WhIs this the best-written book on the planet? And even that last paragraph - where the writer says they could just let the pages fly off in the wind - like a narcissistic parent threatening to take what little they give from an emotionally starved kid. Liked the book very much.

I'm not sure what I was initially expecting when I marked this book as "to-read". She is stationed in France in the years leading up to World War II and is also in Berlin part of the time covering events happening there.

One day, a delivery van arrives to bring her a trunk retrieved from her former office in Paris. A lot of "telling instead of showing" and really disjointed conversations between characters. She is an American who takes her status for granted.
