Paris is arguably the most alluring city in the world, yet it also gave rise to Paris Syndrome, a psychiatric condition afflicting people deeply affected when the city fails to meet their expectations. For all who love the wonders of Paris, there are others who remember it with disdain.
Twenty-three-year-old Elliot Martin arrives in Paris to experience the city while hoping to build a relationship with John, his estranged uncle. When John was Elliot's age, he visited Paris for a short trip, escaping a life that was crumbling before him in Australia. He fell in love with the city and never left, writing a best-selling novel that saw him considered the hottest new property in world literature. Thirty-five years later, he has never rekindled that success.
Like his uncle a generation earlier, Elliot's trip was seen by others as running away from his problems. He maintained he was running towards the solutions. Can he be the peacemaker that brings his extended family together? Will Paris give him the inspiration to get his own life back on track?
The possibilities are endless in the City of Light.
