Reviews
"This is the perfect book for those for whom the real world, wracked with pandemic and politics, has become something to avoid . . . In her fable-like travels around Paris [the racehorse Paras] encounters a wise raven who dispenses advice, an eight-year-old orphan who can hide a horse, and plenty of happy endings--not just for the animals, but for the people they encounter, especially if they, like Paras, are open to seeing the wonders of the world." -- Publishers Weekly "A remarkable novel that splits the difference between Charlotte's Web and Animal Farm . . . Perestroika in Paris takes its place alongside the likes of Through the Looking-Glass, in that it will reward both precocious young readers and their parents with a sense of wonder and whimsy." -- Thane Tierney, BookPage (starred), "If ever there were a year when we could use some light relief, 2020 is it. Perestroika in Paris couldn't have come at a better time . . . Smiley's wit and her lyrical prose make the book a sparkling screwball-comedy treat . . . Fanciful, smart, and atmospheric . . . It's hard to imagine anyone not enjoying this wistful charmer of a book." --Michael Upchurch, Seattle Times "If you're looking for a feel-good escape, try this new novel by Smiley." --Joumana Khatib, New York Times "Sprightly, fun . . . A lighthearted spree of a novel . . . Here Smiley stretches her talents even further." --Mark Athitakis, Washington Post "Jane Smiley has combined two foolproof genres of escapist fiction: the Parisian fairy tale and the equestrian novel . . . The feel-good charm of her novel flows from the fact that [the various creatures] are all able to understand each other, creating a species-crossing conspiracy of kindness." --Sam Sacks, Wall Street Journal "After writing some of the most brilliant and ferocious fiction of the past 40 years, Jane Smiley takes a gentler approach in Perestroika in Paris . . . Her tone may be genial, but she's as tough-minded as ever . . . Underpinning the novel's abundant humor is a pervasive atmosphere of loneliness and longing for companionship felt by humans and animals alike." --Wendy Smith, Boston Globe "A beautifully done story . . . An absolutely extraordinary tribute to Paris." --Scott Simon, NPR's Weekend Edition "An immersive fable . . . Beguiling . . . A comforting read at the end of a difficult year--a winter's tale full of wit, warmth, and charm." -- The Economist "A remarkable novel that splits the difference between Charlotte's Web and Animal Farm . . . Perestroika in Paris takes its place alongside the likes of Through the Looking-Glass, in that it will reward both precocious young readers and their parents with a sense of wonder and whimsy." --Thane Tierney, BookPage (starred) "This is the perfect book for those for whom the real world, wracked with pandemic and politics, has become something to avoid . . .

Synopsis
NATIONAL BESTSELLER - From the Pulitzer Prize-winning and best-selling author: a captivating, brilliantly imaginative story of three extraordinary animals -- and a young boy -- whose lives intersect in Paris in this "feel-good escape" ( The New York Times ) . Paras, short for "Perestroika," is a spirited racehorse at a racetrack west of Paris. One afternoon at dusk, she finds the door of her stall open and -- she's a curious filly -- wanders all the way to the City of Light. She's dazzled and often mystified by the sights, sounds, and smells around her, but she isn't afraid. Soon she meets an elegant dog, a German shorthaired pointer named Frida, who knows how to get by without attracting the attention of suspicious Parisians. Paras and Frida coexist for a time in the city's lush green spaces, nourished by Frida's strategic trips to the vegetable market. They keep company with two irrepressible ducks and an opinionated raven. But then Paras meets a human boy, Etienne, and discovers a new, otherworldly part of Paris: the ivy-walled house where the boy and his nearly-one-hundred-year-old great-grandmother live in seclusion. As the cold weather nears, the unlikeliest of friendships bloom. But how long can a runaway horse stay undiscovered in Paris? How long can a boy keep her hidden and all to himself? Jane Smiley's beguiling new novel is itself an adventure that celebrates curiosity, ingenuity, and the desire of all creatures for true love and freedom., NATIONAL BESTSELLER * From the Pulitzer Prize-winning and best-selling author: a captivating, brilliantly imaginative story of three extraordinary animals --and a young boy -- whose lives intersect in Paris in this "feel-good escape" ( The New York Times ) .

- a***9 (75)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaI would DEFINITELY purchase from this seller again. Seller might want to add more pics and better description because there was a tear on the back dust jacket that wasn’t mentioned. Could’ve happened during shipping so I’m not holding it against the seller. I fixed with tape on the inside of jacket. No harm/no foul. The seller had a more than generous price for this book + free shipping. NO complaints. Hence, I would purchase from this seller again without hesitation.
