Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

The bestselling grande dame of popular women's fiction is back with her 18th book, after The Triumph of Katie Byrne. Replete with mystery, romance, secrets and conflict, Bradford's latest examines the lives of four women, alumni of an exclusive arts school in Paris, who must confront their stormy pasts when they are invited to attend a special birthday party. Anya Sedgwick, the indomitable doyenne of the school, wants her four favorite pupils to repair their destroyed friendship and help celebrate her 85th birthday. With the exception of Anya, however, none of the protagonists are the sparkling, unforgettable characters Bradford is usually so adept at crafting. Three of the four women, at the apex of their careers only seven years out of school, seem to blend into each other despite their disparate backgrounds. Alexandra is a renowned set designer; Kay has become a successful couturier; Jessica is a top interior designer; and Maria, whose biggest challenge is to lose a considerable amount of weight before the reunion, is slogging away at the family textile business, with a promising painting career on the side. There is some pathos in Kay's background, but the author glosses over the trauma of early sexual abuse; in fact, most of the tensions in the book are glossed over. Even the spat that tore the four apart is a trifle. But Bradford's knack for depicting elegant surroundings and happy-ever-after romance should satisfy most of her fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars A CONSUMMATE READING, February 25, 2002
This review is from: Three Weeks in Paris (Audio Cassette)
Acclaimed Broadway actress Kate Burton is spectacular in this reading of Barbara Taylor Bradford's 18th novel, which is spiced with romance, mystery, excitement, and, of course, problems to be overcome. What a pair - Ms. Burton, surely one of today's most accomplished actresses and Ms. Bradford, the bestselling doyenne of women's stories.. A dynamic duo!

With her 85th birthday approaching, Anya Sedgwick, head mistress of an exclusive arts school, invites her four favorite former pupils to return to Paris to celebrate this important milestone. While they were once the closest of friends, Alexandra, Kay, Jessica, and Maria departed the school as enemies. Worlds apart, the women have pursued their individual dreams - Alexandra is a set designer, a valued member of Broadway's theatre community; Kay is a successful dress designer who has married and moved to Scotland; Jessica is an interior designer based in California; and Maria has joined her family's textile business in Italy.

The invitation from Anya elicits different emotions in each of the women, yet a blend of curiosity and a yearning to perhaps heal old wounds compels each of them to attend the celebration.

As always, Ms. Bradford is a pro at creating alluring settings and fashionable people. Her penchant for painting idyllic surroundings is matched by Ms. Burton's consummate reading.

- Gail Cooke

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Escape, December 16, 2002
By A Customer
If good books are supposed to transport us from our ordinary lives to someplace worthwhile, then Three Weeks In Paris in as good as they get!

You have got to hand it to BTB for coming up with great story after great story with memeroble characters and wonderful locations. In this case, Barbara selects Paris as a backdrop and creates a mystery, an old feud and three love stories as the plot. It's not brain surgery, but its complelling story telling.

This is the perfect page turner for anyone looking to escape the doldrums. And its even better at a paperback price!

One of Barbara's best books in years!

1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK, August 5, 2003
By A Customer
This isn't the worst book I've ever read but it's very close. The story is about four former friends who haven't spoken to each other in seven years but will be reunited when they celebrate their mentor's eighty-fifth birthday. What makes this book so bad is the fact that you don't care about any of the characters. All of their tribulations are all summarized so you don't experiance them with the girls.

The feud that tore apart their "strong" bonds was juvenile and pathetic, worthy of only junior high students. One of the biggest beefs I had with the book is the fact that Alexa leaves America engaged to a fabulous guy and then hooks up with her old flame. Suddenly they're together and you never hear another word about Jack. In fact by the end of the book you're not sure she's even called him to break off the engagement.
If you feel like you absolutely must read this monstrosity, borrow it from the library and don't waste your money.
