«Päivät Pariisissa» is the literary novel by Anita Brookner, published by Otava in paperback (378 pages, in Finnish).
Maud Gonthier, young and without means, stays at her aunt's villa in the French countryside, weary of the condescension of her bourgeois relatives. There she meets the seductive David Tyler and falls in love with him. She follows him to Paris, where the formal Edward Harrison also comes. Tension grows until David disappears.
Originally published in 1995 as «Incidents in the Rue Laugier», this 2011 Finnish edition is a translation by Anita Haglund.
For readers of literary and contemporary fiction, particularly those who enjoy psychological portraits and stories of romantic relationships.
