My wife doesn’t really like travel writing, doesn’t really care about comics and is not a big fan of books by Americans or English writers about France. So when I brought home French Milk, a book that fits those three criteria, I didn’t expect her to start reading it, and halfway, to turn to me and say:
- Eventually we’re going to move back to Paris right ?
Even though she only stayed in Paris for a month, Lucy Knisley captured something about the place that made my wife nostalgic of the two years she spent there and was able to remind me that no matter where I live, I am and always will be a Parisian !
After I read the comic book, I discovered that the author had a blog and that she was just coming back from another trip to Paris. She published the first pages on that new Paris Journal, so go and have a look for yourself.
