Katie Bassel with St.
Martin Press sent this beauty to me. I can't wait to dive in!
After losing her fiancé in the Vietnam War,
nineteen-year-old Laurel Haley takes a job in England, hoping the distance will
mend her shattered heart. Laurel expects the pain might lessen but does not
foresee the beguiling man she meets or that they’ll go to Paris, where the city’s
magic will take over and alter everything Laurel believes about love.
Thirty years later, Laurel’s daughter Annie is newly engaged
and an old question resurfaces: who is Annie’s father and what happened to him?
Laurel has always been vague about the details and Annie’s told herself it
doesn’t matter. But with her impending marriage, Annie has to know everything.
Why won’t Laurel tell her the truth?
The key to unlocking Laurel’s secrets starts with a
mysterious book about an infamous woman known as the Duchess of Marlborough.
Annie’s quest to understand the Duchess, and therefore her own history, takes
her from a charming hamlet in the English countryside, to a decaying estate
kept behind barbed wire, and ultimately to Paris where answers will be found at
last.e, and ultimately to Paris where answers will be found at last.
