How far will they go to find their story?   When Alexis meets Maeve - a reclusive woman in her
eighties - they feel an unexpected and beautiful kinship. Alexis is embracing nomad life after
burning out as a big-shot editor. And Maeve is mourning her glory days as a bestselling author.
Their friendship inspires Maeve to write again. Her last novel pours out of her - a story of
love and heartbreak  centred around a bookshop in 1950s Paris.  But the line between fact and
fiction is as fine as a whisper  and the novel unfurls a long-buried mystery  one that has
haunted Maeve's existence.  And will reverberate into the lives of both women  decades later...
