Description
Perestroika in Paris is a 2020 novel by Jane Smiley about a curious racehorse named Paras (short for Perestroika) who escapes her stable and wanders into Paris, where she befriends a resourceful dog, a raven, and ducks, and eventually a young boy, Etienne, and his great-grandmother, forming an unlikely family while navigating the city and its challenges. The book is a charming, fable-like story that explores themes of curiosity, friendship, and freedom, with a cast of anthropomorphized animals and humans finding connection in a whimsical version of Paris.
