Freshly arrived from a beautiful Tunisian island to work for the exacting Countess Poulais du Roc, Fatima finds herself in a city where even the most mundane tasks – walking the dog, buying the groceries, taking the bus – prove baffling. But her natural compassion and sheer grit ensure her survival, and unexpectedly bring good fortune to those around her. And then, suddenly, it’s Fatima’s turn to seize happiness. Warmhearted and witty, Fatima’s Good Fortune is a story of love and determination alive with the sights, sounds, and tastes of Paris and is a tribute to the power of simple kindness in an unpredictable world.
Gerry Dryansky is the European editor at Condé Nast Traveler and Joanne Dryansky is a screenwriter. Both native New Yorkers, this husband and wife team wrote Fatima’s Good Fortune side by side in a café in Paris, where they have lived for the past twenty years.
