This short story was oh, so romantic - and aesthetically written. It was more than just a short story, it was almost like a painting, too. And maybe like a chanson hummed by an artist while sketching in Montmartre. I truly enjoyed the multidisciplinary feel of Josh Lanyon's writing.I found the description of Paris very poetic and beautiful. Josh Lanyon chooses his words in such a lovely way that I can actually see and smell and hear and feel everything. And the best part of the story is that it's full of hope. Reading this story made me savor a memory of a happy day many years ago, when I was wandering in a huge flee market of Clignancourt with my husband and when we ended up in a strange (but wonderful) cafe Chez Louisette with Edith Piaf chansons. That's the wonderful thing about cities like Paris - you never know what kind of surprise is waiting for you around the corner. And that's why Paris was a perfect choice for the setting of this story of two men getting a second chance! And I actually felt like the city was the third main character.I recommend - and if you haven't visited Paris yet, after reading this, I'm sure you'll want to do it badly!
