'Sunshine in book form' - Daily Mail 'A joyfully escapist
celebration of friendship and freedom' - Mail on Sunday
'Delightful, heartwarming . . . An especially welcome reminder of
the bright spots even in dark times' - NPR Paras is a spirited
young racehorse living in a stable in the French countryside. That
is until one afternoon when she pushes open the gate of her stall
and, travelling through the night, arrives quite by chance in the
dazzling streets of Paris. She soon meets a German shorthaired
pointer named Frida, two irrepressible ducks and an opinionated
crow, and life amongst the animals in the city's lush green spaces
is enjoyable for a time. But everything changes when Paras meets a
human boy, Etienne, and discovers a new, otherworldly part of
Paris: the secluded, ivy-walled house where the boy and his nearly
one-hundred-year-old great-grandmother live quietly and keep to
themselves. As the cold weather of Christmas nears, the unlikeliest
of friendships blooms between human and animals. But how long can a
runaway horse live undiscovered in Paris? And how long can one boy
keep her all to himself? Charming and beguiling in equal measure,
Jane Smiley's novel celebrates the intrinsic need for friendship,
love and freedom, whoever you may be . . . From Jane Smiley, the
Pulitzer Prize-winning author of A Thousand Acres, The Strays of
Paris is a captivating story of a group of extraordinary animals -
and one little boy - whose lives cross paths in Paris.
