Parisian Days - Banine

A classic, brilliantly witty memoir telling the story of a young woman's determined struggle for freedom.

Escaping her ruined homeland and forced marriage, she aspires to a dazzling future in Paris. As a chic Parisienne she mingles with artists and writers-and even contemplates love. But freedom brings challenges. Swept along by the forces of history, can Banine keep up?

Filled with vivacious wit and a lust for life, this companion to Days in the Caucasus is a paean to bittersweet dreams and the quest for happiness.
