The two young protagonists are Riccardo, a gifted young Italian painter who had suffered fascism and the fight against it almost from birth, and Marisa, an even younger American girl who finds herself alone in every sense but who comes to Paris to learn to be a journalist and thus to make sense of the world that had orphaned her while no one was looking.
Grace and Favors tells the story of how two attractive loners come together like pieces of a puzzle and prevail against the strictures of the past in a Paris ready for redemption.
This is a cautionary tale told with humor and indulgence by the author of In Search of Mihailo, who remembers the sites, the scents, the places, and the tastes of a world reborn, the postwar years in Paris.
Dolores Palà was born in New York and was raised along the Hudson, spending summers with her Canadian mother’s family in Nova Scotia. She briefly attended New York University until a series of happy accidents took her to a job at the then-nascent United Nations in 1947, followed by a scholarship to study international relations in Paris in 1948. A few months later, she met Juan Palà, who was then a young Barcelona artist in Paris on a French scholarship, at a St. Valentine’s Day dance in 1949. Juan’s work put them in the center of a period of artistic renewal that Paris witnessed in the latter half of the twentieth century. Together, they brought up two children, Christopher and Suzy. Palà is the author of numerous works.
