Sweet, lightweight story of a Tunisian woman finding love and luck and happiness in Paris. Vaguely reminiscent of 'Amélie' (only vaguely, though). ( ) I liked this story. It is a feel-good story about Fatima who has never traveled, off her island of Djerba, and never really wanted to. Due to life-changing events she finds herself a maid to a countess in Paris, France. She comes to enjoy her life and friends in Paris. Upon returning to Djerba, she reaches a decision about where to call home, and settles down in her home with luck, wealth and good friends. The author keeps the story moving, it is full of descriptive phrases, but never overwhelming. I used a warm lazy summer day to finish this book nearly in one day; it was a nice day, like being on vacation. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
An enchanting and heart-warming story of a Parisian housemaid who transforms the lives of the people around her. Deep in the heart of Paris, in the elegant Sixteenth Arrondissement, at the top of the smart apartment building at Number 34bis Avenue Victor-Hugo, on the sixth floor at the end of a long landing, there is a housemaid's simple room. This is Fatima Monsour's new home. She has left her home on a beautiful Tunisian island to work for the exacting Countess Palais du Roc. Fatima arrives to find impossible challenges and frightening surprises at every turn - even the most mundane tasks (walking the dog, buying the groceries and taking the metro) prove baffling. Fatima's unique gift for altering the lives of those around her begins to have an astonishing effect. Her new friends - including her flamboyant American neighbour, Hadley Hadley III and Hippolyte Suget, a bashful ballet dancer turned burglar - all benefit from the magical luck that follows in her wake. And then, suddenly, it's Fatima's turn, her moment to seize happiness. Irresistibly touching and witty, this story of love, loneliness and determination is alive with the sights, sounds and tastes of Paris. Fatima's Good Fortune is a tribute to the power of kindness in an unpredictable world. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
