Description

A sweeping story of a patient and everlasting love – and the moments that tie people together forever.

‘Utterly immersive. Kate Lord Brown is the magician whose silken words have embroidered the most exotic and seductive dual timeline romance’ Essie Fox: Catherine, a Retelling of Wuthering Heights

THREE CITIES. TWO WOMEN. A STORY OF ONE HUNDRED YEARS . . .

London, 1875. Bel has secured a design job at the newly opened Liberty store, where Japan is all the rage. When Hiro, a fellow designer, travels with her to Tokyo to source silks and inspiration, little does she know it will be the start of an unforgettable love story.

Paris, 1985. Mira, a recently qualified art curator, is hired to catalogue the contents of an apartment which has been closed for decades. As she works through the treasures it reveals, she longs to discover what happened to famed designer Isobel Bright – and why her apartment has been locked for so many years…

Crossing oceans, cultures and timelines, this is an epic and intimate tale of enduring love.

Mandy G, Reviewer

This was a lovely book spanning two stories and two female leads. I particularly loved Bel’s story and so wanted her to be real. The descriptions of 1920s Paris and the New Romantic artists were so vivid and justice was also done to Monet’s garden ( I’ve been and it is stunning). I loved the Japanese element and the story of Liberty’s. All in all a recommended read.
