“… da Costa Meyer illuminates the history of Paris in a profoundly new way. She brings a scholar’s rigor and a novelist’s sensibility to the story of the transformation of Paris during [Haussmann’s renovation], especially bringing minor players to the fore. This book belongs in the library of everyone who loves Paris.” – Cheryl Hurley, Book Award Juror and President Emerita of the Library of America
