Beschreibung
PARIS, 1976: In this memoir of first love, twenty-year-old American student Julie Scolnik arrives in the City of Light to study the flute when, from across a sea of faces in the chorus of the Orchestre de Paris, she is drawn to Luc, a striking (married) French lawyer in the bass section.
This moving Paris memoir captures the unfolding story of an ebullient young American and a reserved Frenchman, transporting readers to the cafés, streets, and concert halls of 1970s Paris. Spanning three decades, the story evolves from deep romance to sudden heartbreak, and finally to a lifelong quest for answers to release hidden, immutable grief.
Against a magical backdrop of Paris and classical music, Paris Blue is a true fairy-tale memoir (with a dark underbelly) about the tenacious grip of first love.

Praise for Paris Blue
"Not every true story is like a good novel, but this one is. Not every memoir of first love has a satisfying ending, but this one does. The confluence of first love with becoming an artist makes this memoir special."
- John Irving

Über den Autor
Julie Scolnik is a concert flutist and the founding artistic director of Mistral Music, a chamber music series that since 1997 has been known for its virtuosic artists and imaginative programming. Paris Blue, her debut memoir, is a story that lingered in the corridors of her psyche for over forty years, and she is thrilled to share it finally with the world. In her role as artistic director, she has writes a "Message from the Director" in program booklets, each of which introduces the works but also discusses the interrelationship of music, memory, and love, themes which figure prominently in her memoir. She lives in Boston with her husband, physicist Michael Brower, and her two cats, Daphne and Chloë. They have two adult children, Sophie and Sasha Scolnik-Brower, also musicians.
