In her debut novel, 'It's Not Love, It's Just Paris,' Patricia Engel explores the inner and outer lives of a young Colombian American in the City of Light.
Patricia Engel sets her first novel in late '90s Paris, where recent college graduate Lita del Cielo arrives to take language classes for a year. It's a respite of sorts as she attempts to forestall the expectations of her Colombian immigrant parents, who arrived in the U.S. with nothing and built a Latin food empire in short order.
