<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The intimate, touching, witty, and unique memoir by a renowned psychoanalytic author and clinician who discovers the unexpected site of the most beautiful place in the world.</p><p><br></p><p>This riveting memoir tells the tale of how the roots of one woman's yearnings, planted deeply in fertile dreams and disappointments, sprouted fresh possibilities, leafed out page by page and blossomed into a colorful and enduring romance. The author, a retired American psychoanalyst from Los Angeles, recognized for her many clinical publications, chronicles four years that fluttered by like autumn foliage into mounds of flashbacks upon an existence often blown off track and swept up as if by a gust of wind at surprising times and in unexpected directions. Following a sequence of sundry seasons and throughout broad and narrow ups and downs, the author settles not only in that most beautiful place that is the scintillating city of Paris, but even more significantly in a crisp, enduring, and resilient state of mind, a sturdy foundation for living experienced as the most beautiful place in the world.</p><p><br></p><p><em>"This is the fascinating story about a brilliant young woman who, caught in a dead-end marriage, took control of her destiny and became a world-renowned psychoanalyst. Her colorful descriptions of destinations around the world have resulted in my adding a number of them to my bucket list."</em></p><p>Virginia in California, Retired Nuclear Physicist </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><em>"An engagingly written account ranging through the past to the present, from the US to France, and filled with discovery, loss and love stories. </em></p><p><em>Full of humor, this is a window into personal experience, change, and how travelling the world becomes the fulfilment of a dream" </em></p><p>Jeffrey Eaton-Author of "A Fruitful Harvest: Essays After Bion"</p><p><br></p><p><em>"What could be more exciting than to have written such a book, to have lived and to be living such a life?" </em></p><p>Warren Poland-Author of"Melting the Darkness" and "Intimacy and Separateness in Psychoanalysis"</p><p><br></p><p><em>"Judith Mitrani has composed a symphony of memories, composed of different melodies and evoking many moods, but always returning to her main theme of a beautiful place. </em></p><p><em>For Judith, that place is not just Paris. For readers, it may bring to mind their own special place where objects, people, and events conjure memories of discovery, loss, love and all things that make for an eventful life."</em> </p><p>Howard Lovy, literary editor</p><p><br></p><p><em>"This memoir is often witty, sometimes poignant, and always unique. The title of the book is not just a caption on a picture postcard; neither is it a travelogue nor a vehicle for armchair explorations. Rather, it is a lifesaving gesture populated by countless characters set in many cities in the world." </em></p><p>JoAnn Culbert-author, officer C.G. Jung Institute, LA</p><p><br></p><p><em>"This is the fascinating story about a brilliant young woman who, caught in a dead-end marriage, took control of her destiny and became a world-renowned psychoanalyst. Her colorful descriptions of destinations around the world have resulted in my adding a number of them to my bucket list."</em></p><p>Virginia in California, Retired Nuclear Physicist </p><br>
