'I ADORE cold-war novels and I live for love stories - The Museum
of Broken Promises is a perfect combination of both. It's a gem of
a book... beautiful, elegant.' Marian Keyes, author of The Break
_________ Paris, today. The Museum of Broken Promises is a place of
wonder and sadness, hope and loss. Every object in the museum has
been donated - a cake tin, a wedding veil, a baby's shoe. And each
represent a moment of grief or terrible betrayal. The museum is a
place where people come to speak to the ghosts of the past and,
sometimes, to lay them to rest. Laure, the owner and curator, has
also hidden artefacts from her own painful youth amongst the
objects on display. Prague, 1985. Recovering from the sudden death
of her father, Laure flees to Prague. But life behind the Iron
Curtain is a complex thing: drab and grey yet charged with danger.
Laure cannot begin to comprehend the dark, political currents that
run beneath the surface of this communist city. Until, that is, she
meets a young dissident musician. Her love for him will have
terrible and unforeseen consequences. It is only years later,
having created the museum, that Laure can finally face up to her
past and celebrate the passionate love which has directed her life.
