- Book Synopsis
- Midwestern Bestseller! What to do when life smacks you down? Head for Paris, of course! In this book, the author of French Like Moi (2020) returns to the scene of the crime with more tales of intrigue. This time, he's reeling from loss-and hoping the City of Light will come to his rescue. From bizarre encounters on the Metro to comical clashes with authority figures, including a quixotic battle against a flock of migrant parrots, and even the tribulations of dating, Paris Lost and Found unveils sides of the great city that are as quirky as they are authentic. With a unique blend of wit, insight, and wistfulness, Carpenter charts a path through a labyrinth of challenges-only to emerge on the other side, squinting into the bright light of hope and new beginnings.
