The Paris Of The West product reviews

San Francisco, 1948. Having survived the Second World War against all odds, Celina and her family arrive on a Liberty Ship into the Bay Area with high hopes for their new lives. But as new immigrants they face many hurdles, and they have to deal somehow with the trauma of war and the grief of losing loved ones. Betrayal and more heartbreak are just around the corner. Why is it that, now they are finally safe, Celina cannot sleep and is afraid of her dreams? And who is the mysterious jazz singer who will have such an impact on their family?

A page-turning historical read set in the spectacular hilly city of San Francisco, "The Paris Of The West" goes from the jazz clubs in the Fillmore District to the sun-kissed vineyards of Sonoma.
