Editorial Reviews:
"Suddenly, Paris" is on the 2016 James Tiptree Jr Award long list.
5 Stars: "I have to admit that after reading Suddenly, Paris by Olga Werby, I immediately checked whether there were more books by the same author - and I picked up a few. I was surprised by how different the various stories were, but the writing style drew me into each of the novels. This one, however, was the one I liked best because it's more my kind of genre. I enjoyed how the different characters interacted, and the idea of Paris and his/her people is really interesting. I can't give away who Paris is, but it's such an unusual development, I really loved it. And these days, you don't get many unusual and fresh stories that often. I would definitely recommend this book to people who love fantasy, science fiction, and coming of age stories mixed into one exciting adventure. Also check out the sequel, and other books by the same author - you won't regret it! The plot of this novel is fantastic; you have to read it!" -- Readers' Favorite
