Recommended by Janis Commentz

An insider's inside view of how the French act, speak, think, dine and dress by Harriet Welty Rochefort-who took a freighter to France after college - and never left.

The charming Harriet Welty Rochefort presents her longtime relationship to France (she's been married to a Frenchman for several decades) with humor and intimacy. She has written several books, which I highly recommend, including her World War II novel, Final Transgression. Her Substack letters are a delight!

Janet’s Substack

By Janet Skeslien Charles

Bonjour de Paris (and sometimes Montana)! This newsletter chronicles the books I am writing as well as novels, places, and people I love.

I have long recommended Janet's Substack, but I did not say why! I heard an interview with Janet in 2020! I eagerly read The Paris Library, about the American Library in Paris! A bonus: it is one of the most attractively designed books I have seen. This well-crafted novel blends a contemporary story with that of the librarians during WWII. Be sure to enjoy Miss Morgan's Book Brigade and the Parisian Chapter-and visit the American Library in Paris! Her letters from Paris are delightful as well!
