Description
A Good Housekeeping Good Books Spring 2025 pick 'Vividly conjures the excitement of Paris' RUTH HOGAN, bestselling author of THE KEEPER OF LOST THINGS 'Beguiling' The Times Can she escape the darkness of her past in the City of Light? It's 1959 and time for eighteen-year-old Sophie's real life to start. Her existence in the village of Poynsdean, Sussex, with her austere foster-father and his frustrated wife is suffocating. She dreams of escape to Paris, the wartime home her French mother fled before her birth. Getting there will take spirit and ingenuity, but it will be her chance to uncover the mystery of her family background, and, perhaps, to find a place where she can finally belong. When Sophie eventually arrives in the Paris arising from the ashes of the war, it's both everything she imagined, and not at all what she expected... 'Original, page turning, wonderful. I loved it.' KATIE FFORDE 'A delightful, funny, poignant story suffused with the atmosphere of Paris on the cusp of the Sixties' RACHEL HORE READERS HAVE FALLEN FOR BONJOUR, SOPHIE 'I read it one sitting' ***** 'Wonderfully evocative' ***** 'Elizabeth Buchan has excelled herself' ***** 'Loved every moment' ***** 'Delightful and compelling ... will also make you laugh' *****
