Barbara Kingsolver at Shakespeare and Company

June 13, 2013 by Brenda Prowse 8 Comments

DSCF3115 Guess who I got to meet? One of my favorite authors, Barbara Kingsolver, who wrote The Poisonwood Bible among many other wonderful fiction novels, recently held a booksigning at Shakespeare and Company in Paris. I bought her latest book, Flight Behaviour, which she signed for me. I love that I can walk a few blocks along the Seine, in full view of Notre Dame Cathedral to the most marvelous book store to meet one of my heroines!

    Oh my gosh, Barbara Kinsolver, what a privilege. You are in the right place at the right time. Of course, you must have known that all
    along. It must be why you and Hugh picked his time to live in Paris. Well you anyway, I’m not so sure Hugh picked the time. You are having so many marvelous experiences. Gee, B.K. in person and her signature also. Joy oh joy.
