A Tryst with PARIS: A Memoir

By Maret Jaks

At forty-seven, Maret Jaks closes up her Canadian life, puts her business on pause, says bient t to her grown daughters, and moves to Paris. She's chasing the dream that fuelled her through difficult times: to be a writer, even if only for a while.

What follows is a candid, funny, and fearless memoir of a woman determined to live boldly on her own terms. Navigating French dating sites, quirky lovers, and the realities of starting over in a foreign city, Maret confronts age, desire, identity, and the ghosts of her past-from teenage motherhood and poverty to her Estonian refugee roots. With champagne in hand and courage in her heart, she discovers that the City of Light offers far more than romance: it delivers hard-won wisdom about love, independence, and what it truly means to come alive.

Witty, sensual, and unflinchingly honest, A Tryst with Paris is a celebration of midlife reinvention and the messy, magnificent adventure of a woman who refuses to fade away just because she's looking fifty in the eye.
