Description
It only takes a weekend to change your life. One Friday afternoon Molly Clearwater walks out of her job, smarting from her boss's taunt that she is 'just a stupid secretary'. Twenty-one, a country girl who has lived her life mainly through the pages of books, she feels nothing exciting has ever happened to her, or ever will.On impulse she boards the Eurostar to Paris, emerging into a bewitching world of leafy boulevards, luscious foods, crazy traffic and smouldering Frenchmen. Within hours show more she's racing along beside the Seine on the back of a scooter, infiltrating a conference in a Cleopatra wig, caught up in a roller-blade chase, and sharing with a complete stranger her deepest, darkest secret. The weekend turns into a dizzying carousel-ride of passion, excitement and self-discovery. By Sunday night Molly is a new person. show lessTags

A light and frothy confection that doesn't disappoint. Molly's voyage of self-discovery is great fun - a super holiday read.
Brit-Chick-Lit. OK read because she does a good job describing sites in Paris, and that's why I read it.
A quick read and a fun chick-lit book. Like most of Sisman's books, if your looking for a weekend read, this is it.
Okay chick lit. Not an irritating read.
El próximo tren a París está a punto de salir desde la estación de Waterloo. Molly debería estar en él, disfrutando de su primer y anhelado viaje de negocios al extranjero. Pero su engreído jefe le ha despedido y en lugar de viajar rumbo a la ciudad de sus sueños, Molly sabe que su único destino es hacer las maletas y regresar al aburrido pueblo campestre donde siempre ha vivido con su madre. Sin embargo, cuando los altavoces de la estación anuncian la inminente salida del tren, Molly, por primera vez en su vida, toma una decisión atrevida y emprende el viaje a París. No tiene más planes que visitar museos y pasear en solitario por los famosos bulevares parisinos. Pero en su primera noche conoce a la impulsiva Alicia y el show more fin de semana en solitario se transforma en una aventura de ritmo frenético. Clubes a orillas del Sena, carreras nocturnas en moto, misteriosos y seductores artistas franceses... y también la aparición de la persona que menos desea ver en el mundo, su antiguo jefe. En un fin de semana, Molly descubre un mundo excitante y nuevo y, al mismo tiempo, una parte de sí misma asombrosamente desconocida. Nunca imaginó que subirse a ese tren iba a cambiarla para siempre. show less
