Paris, 7 A.M.

In Paris, 7 A.M., acclaimed author Liza Wieland imagines a pivotal chapter in the life of the young poet Elizabeth Bishop. Set in June 1937, Bishop travels from Vassar College to Paris with her college roommates—eager for freedom and inspiration—even as fascism looms over Europe. Simon & Schuster Canada+2Goodreads+2

Wieland weaves a richly detailed story of friendship, art, and dislocation. As Bishop navigates bohemian Paris, dangerous undercurrents and moral awakenings begin to stir. This novel is at once a coming-of-age story, a portrait of artistic ambition, and a meditation on the gathering storm in Europe just before World War II. 

Elegant and evocative, Paris, 7 A.M. is ideal for readers who enjoy literary historical fiction, character-driven stories with richly rendered settings, and works that explore the intersection of art, place, and identity.
