“Small transports readers to Paris in this dreamy portrait of grief, fashion, and love… Unhurried, ethereal prose works well to present this fanciful rendition of learning how to move on. Elements of seemingly unlimited freedom, found family, impossible dreams, and dancing on the Eiffel Tower in the rain make this lyrical novel a sure thing for romantics and Francophiles alike.”
"Set in dazzling, breathtaking Paris, If I Promise You Wings draws readers into Small’s vibrant world of plumes... A sparkling, unusual novel."
"Readers will feel quickly at home among the feather bins at Mille et une Plume and get swept up in the life Alix creates for herself.... Her steamy romantic entanglements with the shop owner’s charming son and Jeanne’s friend, a guitarist, will satisfy romance-lovers, though it doesn’t detract from Alix’s story of working toward her dreams and reckoning with her memory of her late friend.
VERDICT A charming story of personal growth that glitters with the art and culture of modern Paris."
"A prettily executed account of a young woman learning how to spread her wings… Readers will remain intrigued by the locale and atmosphere until the finale."
