Paris. Just the word brings to mind history, grace, fine art, literature and gardens. And of course the Eiffel Tower. Ruth Yunker fell in love with Paris and has written a book bringing to life the style and customs of what it is like to dwell for short stays in Paris. To hear Ruth’s descriptions, one would know that indeed this woman has a strong connection to this marvelous place. Early on in the book, Ruth does a fine job of detailing the finer points of what it’s like to be an American with our off handed traditions in a country that has its own sense of style and customs. For instance, if you want to mail a card, don’t assume you will be given an envelope with your purchase. One must buy the envelope in Paris. And don’t even think about leaving any food on your plate. It is considered rude. The weather is rarely noted. But then there is the beauty of the people, the court yards and antiquity. You might hear Ava Maria when out and about. Patisseries are to die for. Small spaces are the norm along with some crazy elevators.
Paris I’ve Grown Accustomed To Your Ways by Author Ruth Yunker is a fun and in depth look at Paris from Ruth’s personal experiences. This often witty novel will have you feeling like a Parisian in no time. Ruth shares both the good and bad. But if you never get a chance to visit Paris, don’t worry. You will soon feel like you are right there beside Ruth. Paris I've Grown Accustomed To Your Ways is an enjoyable read by a wonderful writer.
