In this book, the author of French Like Moi (2020) returns to the scene of the crime with more tales of intrigue. This time, he's reeling from loss-and hoping the City of Light will come to his rescue.

From bizarre encounters on the Metro to comical clashes with authority figures, including a quixotic battle against a flock of migrant parrots, and even the tribulations of dating, Paris Lost and Found unveils sides of the great city that are as quirky as they are authentic. With a unique blend of wit, insight, and wistfulness, Carpenter charts a path through a labyrinth of challenges--only to emerge on the other side, squinting into the bright light of hope and new beginnings.
