An engaging debut that throws light on a hidden side of Paris. Woman & Home Confident and brilliant -- Lisa O'Donnell This book played into my acute nosiness, throwing open the doors to the fictional lives of the residents of number 37 ... It'll open your heart and your mind. It certainly did mine. The Pool A multi-layered novel, elevated by fine writing, in which our traditional view of Paris is debunked to show a less familiar side of the city. Cooper's expertly realised characters, both sympathetic and not, have stories that are interwoven with aplomb. Daily Mail Cooper has written a Ship of Fools for today, bringing forth the poetry and pathos of ordinary lives. The Lady The Paris of this skillful yet tender debut novel is not the Paris of our Eurostar mini breaks. Red Online
