STRAYS OF PARIS SIGNED EDITION

Viac o knihe

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of A Thousand Acres and the New York Times best-selling Last Hundred Years Trilogy comes a captivating story of three extraordinary animals and a young boy whose lives intersect in Paris. Paras, short for "Perestroika," is a spirited racehorse who escapes her stall and wanders into the City of Light. Dazzled by her surroundings, she meets Frida, an elegant German shorthaired pointer who skillfully navigates the city without drawing attention. Together, they explore lush green spaces, relying on Frida's clever trips to the vegetable market for sustenance, and are joined by two lively ducks and a talkative raven. When Paras encounters a boy named Etienne, she discovers a hidden part of Paris: the ivy-covered house where he lives with his nearly one-hundred-year-old great-grandmother. As winter approaches and Christmas nears, an unlikely friendship blossoms between the boy and the horse. However, the question looms: how long can a runaway horse remain undetected in the city, and how long can Etienne keep her hidden? This enchanting tale celebrates curiosity, ingenuity, and the universal yearning for love and freedom among all creatures.
