"I'd rather go to France with Ina Caro than with Henry Adams or Henry James." Peter Prescott, Newsweek "With her great knowledge, and deep love of France, Caro is an excellent communicator, and makes an ideal guide." The Bookseller "Her point of departure for Paris to the Past is original and intriguing." The Herald "...she's [Ina Caro] a knowledgeable and winning guide..." The Scotsman "...Caro is nothing if not a storyteller...Caro on architecture is always excellent...She excels also at what she calls gossip..." The Irish Times "...there is a human element to this scholarly tome by amateur historian and passionate Francophile Ina Caro..." French Magazine
