5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite haunts depicted beautifully
Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2021
"For starters, this book is a Francophile's dream fantasy. The author sets a story with heart in some of France's most amazing places--and those who know the country know that there are many. A love story with many twists, turns, and surprises, The Woman from Lyon captures the essence of what we all love about la Belle France from the perspective of two people who are destined to fall hopelessly in love but come across pitfalls and obstacles throughout their journey. I loved how Lawrence Rose made classical music an integral part of the plot without overemphasis, comparing such sublime works as Berlioz's 'Les Nuits d'été to an 'escape to the islands of delight, where one loves forever.' A riveting read and highly recommended."
French Beauty, Millionaire, Spy...Marisol de Froissart comes in Many Forms in the Thrillers and Romantic Adventures and Short Stories by Lawrence Rose...
So does love come in many forms.
MARI'S NOTES>
RIGHT NOW WE ARE IN TRANSITION from OLD TITLES AND COVERS TO NEW ONES. Except for some minor editing and a few caught misspellings, the old books are the same as the new. Eventually, we hope to phase out the old and have each of the three available in e book form and in paperback. She will be back with a flourish... and a new book combining being an ex-pat with being haunted by Eugene O'Neill. The first draft is almost finished! I can't wait to see how I write the ending.
As we get buyers and subscribers we need the APP STORE.

PARIS ONCE MOREFIVE STARS!...
is a classic love story. Rose depicts Steven, a man of great musical talent who, after years of “playing the field,” meets the one woman who completes him. Marisol is a complicated, sophisticated, French heiress involved in wonderful charity work. They meet in France by sheer chance and almost immediately their beautiful romance begins. Her family’s background is filled with fascists and Nazi collaborators.
They quickly become a couple. and Rose’s story creates a travelogue of beautiful, and often exotic places. During their myriad vacations, they enjoy incredible epicurean delights. Rose pays tremendous detail to both the history of the regions, focusing often on places of religious and/or historical fame, and their very upscale dining experiences.
Steven’s background is musical. Originally from New York, he lives in San Francisco and spends his life teaching, but is greatly involved in a well-known chorus. He travels on business for them a great deal, particularly in France, and because of this is highly familiar with many areas.Steven and Marisol’s romance leads to marriage and over the years they encounter people in their travels who become interesting dear friends.
Rose’s knowledge of opera, classical, and other styles of music, gourmet dining, and both architecture, and history make this a most interesting read.
I enjoyed the details about the couple’s lovely... life together. This is a classic story of two lovers who.have found a perfect life together.

THE FRENCH AGENT'S
WARSWhat an excellent plot and what an enticing story! He is such a simple guy, a musician, needy... and wonderfully blessed... or so he thought when he met Marisol. But she was danger, trouble, and had a terrible task in front of her... and she needed him... in so many ways. Like the best of Dan Brown, full of ancient European esotericism.
Page turner!!!
I could not put the book down! Readers who like mysteries, spy-thrillers, history, or fantasy will find this work entertaining and with an important message of which we should all be mindful . The cost of modernity. The WARS we wage for RESOURCES / DOMINANCE.
I can see this book one day made into a movie. It is crafted with a multitude of plot lines and themes that come together perfectly.
I hope to see more works from LAWRENCE ROSE
