"A luscious, layered story of inheritance, heartbreak, reinvention,
and family. I adored this book." --Kristan Higgins, New York Times
bestselling author When a deed to an apartment in Paris turns up in
an old attic trunk, an estranged mother and daughter must reunite
to uncover the secret life of a family matriarch--perfect for fans
of The Little Paris Bookshop and The Beekeeper's Daughter. Hannah
Bond has always been a bookworm, which is why she fled Florida--and
her unstable, alcoholic mother--for a quiet life leading Jane
Austen-themed tours through the British countryside. But on New
Year's Eve, everything comes crashing down when she arrives back at
her London flat to find her mother, Marla, waiting for her. Marla's
brought two things with her: a black eye from her ex-boyfriend and
an envelope. Its contents? The deed to an apartment in Paris, an
old key, and newspaper clippings about the death of a famous writer
named Andres Armand. Hannah, wary of her mother's motives,
reluctantly agrees to accompany her to Paris, where against all
odds, they discover great-grandma Ivy's apartment frozen in 1940
and covered in dust. Inside the apartment, Hannah and Marla
discover mysterious clues about Ivy's life--including a diary
detailing evenings of drinking and dancing with Hemingway, the
Fitzgeralds, and other iconic expats. Outside, they retrace her
steps through the city in an attempt to understand why she went to
such great lengths to hide her Paris identity from future
generations. A heartwarming and charming saga set in the City of
Lights, Lost in Paris is an unforgettable celebration of family and
the love between a mother and a daughter.
