What could be better than a new book by two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning historian David McCullough – this time set in Paris? Monitor reviewer Michael Taube writes that “The Greater Journey” – the history of famous 19th-century American expats in Paris – "focuses on the personal histories of this first wave of American travelers, including what they saw, experienced, and dreamed about," their stories all told in "McCullough’s superb writing style – an exquisite combination of crisp academic inclination with a light, whimsical storytelling component."
