Paris Novel
This new Paris novel, Kabuki in a G-String by M.S. Simpson, set throughout Paris, is a paean of love to the city of light.

During the riots of the 1960’s many of its cobblestones were ripped up to be thrown at the police. This Paris novel roams over the various quartiers, streets and boulevards of Paris, from St. Germain to Luxembourg Gardens. If you know Paris – or want to know it better – this is practically a guidebook.
