Paris Was Ours de Penelope Rowlands
A beautifully curated collection of mainly marvelous essays about Paris. I read it on the train coming back home from a wonderful Paris weekend, and it just added to the pleasure.
I really enjoyed this book of essays more than 3 stars might indicate - - but as in most collections, the quality was variable among the essays.

Meh. I so much wanted to like this book but found that it read as a random collection of essays, email, and articles reminiscing about The Beatles first arrival in the US. There was no real cohesion to these pieces which made it an uneven read.

Hard to believe its been 50 years, but what a great way to celebrate this heartbreaking anniversary.
I was just a young boy when the Beatles came to the USA, but I still remember it well. Music is always so closely tied to powerful and emotional memories, and the Beatles music was the perfect soundtrack for a young persons childhood and coming of age transitions.
This book is a beautiful tribute to the band, as its a collection of memories from the people just like you and I...where they were, how the band affected them.
Make no mistake, the Beatles affected EVERYONE in one way or another, and this is the real treasure of the band.
This book focuses on that issue specifically and does so in a wonderful way. Time and money allowing, this book could and should be thousands of pages long, as each of us has something to remember and most of us just love sharing it with others.
Great book. Thank you very much.… (mais)
