Book Overview
"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.

Women's Fiction
Published by TinaLovesToRead , 2 years ago
This is a Women's Fiction book with a little bit of Historical Fiction. The historical fiction parts of this book is diary pages of the Great Grandmother diary, and the diary page is less then 10% of this book. It does bring a lot to the book, but I just want to to let the people that is looking for a historical fiction book that just may not be the book for you. This book is told from the point of view of Hannah who is a big bookworm. I loved her character. This book is all about Hannah learning to get along with her Mother, and Hannah and her Mother learning about family secrets her Grandmother never told them about. This book is so well written, and I loved it so much. I have to say it took a little bit to get going, and it took me a few chapters to be pulled into the story. I found the storyline/plot to be so great, and one I have not seen in a book before. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.
