About the Author
Ina Caro is the author of two books, The Road from the Past: Traveling through History in France and Paris to the Past: Traveling through French History by Train. Peter Prescott of Newsweek wrote: "I'd rather go to France with Ina Caro than with Henry Adams or Henry James. The unique premise of her intelligent and discerning book is so startling that it's a wonder no one has thought of it before. Her educated eye, combined with a deft mix of practical advice, personal preferences, precise and witty observations, and thorough knowledge of French history, make (it) a major work of travel writing.
Arthur Schlesinger wrote of her book: "For all who love France and its history, Ina Caro's thoroughly delightful The Road from the Past is the essential traveling companion.
Before writing these two books, Caro worked as a researcher on the award winning biographies of Robert Caro.
