Paris and London are the supporting characters in this story of young American lovers en route to Europe in an era when the dollar was at is most robust, and the Old World was the ideal playground for Ivy league graduates attempting to find themselves. The couple meet onboard a Transatlantic liner—she headed for France, he for the United Kingdom to work in the U.S. Foreign Service. The book covers their adventures both together and apart until sufficient time has passed for them to come together in a happy ending.
“There was a bravado and gallantry in him . . . the kind of bravado that made him send flowers before a date, and order champagne, and never mention that he had spent his last shilling on these extravagances.”
