In 2009, bestselling author Eloisa James took a leap that many people dream about: she sold her house, took a sabbatical from her job as a Shakespeare professor and moved her family to Paris. Paris in Love: A Memoir chronicles her joyful year in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Eloisa revels in the ordinary pleasures of life ─ discovering corner museums that tourists overlook and walking from one end of Paris to another. She copes with her Italian husband's notions of quality time and her two hilarious children as they navigate schools and puberty ─ in a foreign language. Paris in Love invites the reader into the life of a most enchanting family.

Edgar Kellogg is a disgruntled New York corporate lawyer who is more than ready to leave his lucrative career for the excitement and uncertainty of journalism. When he is offered the post of foreign correspondent in a Portuguese backwater that has sprouted a homegrown terrorist movement, Edgar recognises the disappeared larger-than-life reporter he's been sent to replace, Barrington Saddler, as exactly the outsize character he longs to emulate. A droll, playful novel, The New Republic addresses weighty issues like terrorism with the deft, tongue-in-cheek touch that is vintage Shriver.
