Description:
|
|
The period of time between World War I and World War II in Paris was like no other. Literary greats such as Gertrude Stein, James Joyce, Natalie Barney, Joseph Campbell, Fitzgerald and Hemingway; the introduction of Impressionism and Surrealism in art; the exploration of woman's independence made even more prominent by aviators Amelia Earhart and Bessie Coleman and free-spirited artist Alice Pike Barney; the trans-Atlantic flight by Charles Lindbergh; Black Thursday; and omens of another war: These are the things on which author Patricia Daly-Lipe builds her 95,000-word historical romance novel, A Cruel Calm, Paris between the Wars.

Based on her mother's life before Patricia Daly-Lipe was born, well researched A Cruel Calm, Paris between the Wars visits an era of idealism and innovation when Paris was the cultural capital of the Western world. This is a story replete with historical detail, universal conflict, and romance. As the great granddaughter of the US Ambassador to Switzerland and the great niece of The Right Reverend Monsignor William A. Hemmick, the only American Canon of St. Peter's Basilica, Patricia relied on private letters, diaries, interviews, as well as her own research to create this account of her mother's story.
