About this ebook
'I enjoyed it SO much!' MARIAN KEYES
'With glorious characters and a dreamy setting, I couldn't have loved this book more' THE SUN, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ REVIEW
Back to the city of dreams . . .
Paris has always held a piece of Jess's heart, ever since she spent a magical summer there over twenty years ago. So when a writing job offers her the chance to return, she's delighted, especially as her subject is iconic artist Adelaide Fox. Now approaching eighty, Adelaide wants to tell her life story - and what a life it has been, full of scandal, success, betrayal and passion.
But Adelaide is keeping secrets from her, Jess is sure. And she soon realises she will have to confront her own past in the city. Can Jess find out the truth - even if it means changing both of their lives for ever?

I did enjoy it, and Lucy Diamond's writing is always excellent, but in some ways I felt having both Adelaide and Jess' stories somewhat diluted events. There were lots of little side episodes which didn't really go anywhere, I wanted Jess to be an almost invisible presence, teasing Adelaide's life story out of her, and I just didn't feel we got enough of Adelaide's life. I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley for an honest review.

I found this book to be a real page-turner, and equally loved the stories for both Adelaide and Jess, all set in Paris in the summer. A really delightful read with a perfect ending!
