Summary

Summary

Winner of an AudioFile Earphones Award

A tense and timely debut novel set amid the terrorist attacks on Paris. Paris Metro is the gripping story of an American journalist compelled to reexamine her convictions as terrorism threatens to engulf her family. It's 2015, and Kit is living in Paris, estranged from her Iraqi diplomat husband and raising their teenage son, Ahmed. Having spent the years since 9/11 covering the Middle East-from Baghdad after the U.S. invasion to Syria during the refugee crisis-Kit is enjoying a quieter life. But when Charlie Hebdo is attacked and a cartoonist friend of hers is killed, and then terrorists storm the Bataclan, Kit's Parisian world is shattered. As she is drawn back into reporting, she begins to suspect that Ahmed may be running with the terrorists. Paris Metro is a deeply moving story about the psychic effects of the Age of Terror.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Narrator Elisabeth Rodgers portrays the complicated life of a journalist in the Middle East with intensity…Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.” —AudioFile
“A moving, suspensefu, and revelatory novel.” —BBC
“Fans of work by Graham Greene or John le Carré will find much to admire in the engrossing Paris Metro…a novel sophisticated in both its politics and its treatment of the family drama at its heart.” —Shelf Awareness
“Steavenson, the author of several books of international reporting, skillfully writes about the history and politics of global conflicts…the false dichotomy of an ‘us vs. them’ divide, the lingering prejudices of a protagonist who once thought herself above such things, the knowledge that solutions are rarely, if ever, tidy—all are wrestled with throughout a novel that powerfully merges the personal and the political.” —Publishers Weekly
