![]() ![]() Marton’s first great love, a man who played Pygmalion to her nascent career as a correspondent for ABC News, while insisting that her Ambition, with a capital “A,” compromised their relationship. Marton is formidably accomplished, it’s safe to say that the characters of these famously volatile men, both deceased, are the memoir’s draw. Marton was married to two very public men - the ABC News anchor Peter Jennings and the celebrated diplomat Richard Holbrooke, known chiefly for negotiating an end to the Bosnian war.

Yet her narrative restraint often dims the light on what has clearly been a rich and unusual life. ![]() In her slender “Paris: A Love Story,” Kati Marton gives us the bones of a rousing tale, a portrait of love and loss, chock full of the political players who have shaped world events over the last 50 years. In the age of too much information, a brief memoir looks like a welcome relief at first - a respite from the tell-all exposé. ![]()
