Product Description:
Through delightful drawings, photographs, and musings, twenty-three-year-old Lucy Knisley documents a six-week trip she and her mother took to Paris when each was facing a milestone birthday. With a quirky flat in the fifth arrondissement as their home base, they set out to explore all the city has to offer, watching fireworks over the Eiffel Tower on New Year's Eve, visiting Oscar Wilde's grave, loafing at cafés, and, of course, drinking delicious French milk. What results is not only a sweet and savory journey through the City of Light but a moving, personal look at a mother-daughter relationship.

- "How am I going to get used to anything other than this unbelievable milk?"There were two books I was delighted to come across this month (the other one was Winter in Taos by Mabel Dodge Luhan). The first one, French Milk by Lucy Knisley, is an 193 page graphic journal, small-format, mostly drawings (with handwritten captions) and about 4 dozen full-page b & w photos. It encompasses a little over a month spent living in an apartment with her mum in the bustle of Paris right after Christmas the year the author (a comic book artist from Chicago) turned 22. It was first ... Read More

- Much more than a travel journalFrench Milk is ADORABLE! We get to see Paris through the eyes of Lucy Knisley, a smart, funny, self-revealing, and thoroughly likable young artist. As Lucy and her mother explore Paris together, Lucy draws, photographs, and describes what she sees and feels. This is not a gaspy love letter to Paris, but a very intimate portrait of a young woman trying to find her way in the world. I lived in Paris for one summer as a young student (20 years ago!) and it was so interesting to compare Lucy's observations ... Read More

- Charming Paris Mother/Daughter Travelogue The Glass Castle author Jeannette Walls once told me that memoir should be universal, and I've kept that in mind ever since when I read them. What I think she meant is that while a memoir is specific to the storyteller in the details, anyone should be able to relate to it, somehow. As I read Lucy Knisley's French Milk, I was struck by her storytelling, but also her age, use of photography, and that I could never write such a book, though I too have traveled to Paris with my mother.
The fact that ... Read More

- Paris here I comeI am very interested in travel, anything French especially Paris as I have not yet been and have always been interested in comics and cartooning so this book was a real treasure to find. I liked the simple style and also the musings on everyday things in life. I felt like I was on this trip with Lucy and her mom. I am planning on using it as a bit of travel guide, for when I finally make my trip, also as a mother/daughter team. I would love to read more books by her...how about one set in NYC - my favorite ... Read More
