PARIS LETTERS

Overwhelmed and burned out by the grind of her copywriting career and daily life in Los Angeles, and tired of being single, Janice MacLeod decides to take a leap of faith by quitting her job and setting off for Europe for several months of travel. Narrator Tavia Gilbert offers a youthful and enthusiastic reading of Janice's story, imparting the author's wonder and delight at the twists and turns her life takes, and capturing the light tone of the story. That said, though, Gilbert's narration sometimes tends toward being over-the-top. Ultimately, during her travels, Janice ends up finding her passion and her purpose in Paris: She meets her husband, Christophe, and builds a life for herself creating and selling hand-painted letters about the city she so clearly loves.
