Feathered Quill reviewer Kimberly Trix Lee speaks with Julie Scolnik, author of Paris Blue: A Memoir of First Love.

A memoir of first love set in 1970's Paris that has captured the imagination of none other than John Irving!  To Paris we go...

Her book is an experience of being in Paris during the 70’s, to study music and finding love. All in the backdrop of the cafés, streets, and concert halls of Paris over 30 years. Find out more about Julie and the inspiration of her book on today’s podcast, it’s a pretty incredible story!

Julie Scolnik is an extraordinary musician who tells an enchanting story of romance, passion, heartbreak and resilience in her beautiful memoir “Paris Blue.”  The book whisks readers away to Paris, where we experience the sights, sounds, tastes and art of the City of Lights through the eyes of a young American student swept away by her first love affair.    An affair with an arc that doesn’t always mean happiness.

In this interview, Julie talks about what it is about first love that grabs us so tightly, the interconnectedness of Paris and music and writing, and what it was like to relive the moments that have shaped her life.
