Three very bright young women who shaped by time spent studying in Paris. By the end of the 1970's they would be iconic figures in the chaotic storm that is American culture. Not only would Paris shape them as students, later on in adulthood they would return to the city of lights. In all three cases, as very famous women. I really enjoyed this book because I gained insight into what Paris means personally and how it goes with you even after you have returned home. ( ) Another book about Paris, and I can always read one of those. This book covers the time spent in that city by three distinct women: Jacqueline Kennedy, Susan Sontag and Angela Davis, and covers the period from just after World War II to the 1960's. The descriptions of Paris, especially in the late 1940's and 1950's are fascinating and are like reading about another place compared to what the city is like today. However, when the author tries to tie the women's youthful experiences in Paris to their later lives, the book becomes much less interesting & the4 logic of the4 author's reasoning becomes very strained. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
