Carousel is a novella of a love story — a twenty-four hour burn between two Americans in Paris in the 2010s. They meet on a spinning dance floor and, after a night together, have only twenty-four hours more before their trains depart in opposite directions.
Together they take in Paris's legendary beauty — Notre-Dame, Sainte-Chapelle, Monet's water lilies, the cemetery at Père Lachaise. Choices must be made; meanwhile, there is Paris.
S.B. Vincent lives in the West.
He wakes beside her. He doesn’t need her name — he knows how she feels. And she feels like electricity, an invitation and an offering and a promise. They are two Americans in Paris, in the 2010s. They meet on a spinning dance floor and after a night together have only twenty-four hours more before their trains depart in opposite directions. Choices must be made; meanwhile, there is Paris.

Five images of Carousel — and words to match. Each card memorable like the chapter which contains it. Together the five give a glimpse of the world of Carousel, the arc of a single day which lives on forever in the hearts of those that share it.
The novel's secret motto, in tune with Linklater's Before Trilogy.
Her own credo, imagined inside the Gare du Nord as the arrivals board clatters above her head.
Purposefully, he misses his train. The clock starts. From here, we run on borrowed time.
Flashes of visits to Paris years before, layered over a burning present beside her on the Seine.
