About this ebook

If the opportunity of a lifetime offered you a fresh start in Paris, wouldn't you say yes? Jess certainly does, but when things get bumpy, will she stay the course - or abandon her dream of a brighter future?

'As multi-layered, rich and enjoyable as a giant mille-feuille' Milly Johnson

** Pre-order the brand new Lucy Diamond novel The Storyteller's Secret - a feel-good and deliciously witty story of sisterhood that spans a century, coming February 2027 **

Jess craves change. Her husband turned out to be a mid-life cliché, wrecking their marriage with his affair - and the career in journalism she abandoned for motherhood feels horribly out of reach.

So, when she's invited to Paris to write the memoir of famous, reclusive artist Adelaide Fox, Jess leaps at the chance. She spent a magical summer there decades ago - and who wouldn't want to stay in the Marais with an exciting job lined up?

But Adelaide is prickly and tight-lipped and worse, it seems Jess wasn't the writer she wanted to work with after all.

Dark secrets are lurking in Adelaide's youth, and Jess is determined to uncover them ... but in so doing, she'll need to examine her own past in Paris. Can Jess get to the heart of the matter and carve herself a new path to happiness along the way?

I did enjoy it, and Lucy Diamond's writing is always excellent, but in some ways I felt having both Adelaide and Jess' stories somewhat diluted events. There were lots of little side episodes which didn't really go anywhere, I wanted Jess to be an almost invisible presence, teasing Adelaide's life story out of her, and I just didn't feel we got enough of Adelaide's life. I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley for an honest review.

I found this book to be a real page-turner, and equally loved the stories for both Adelaide and Jess, all set in Paris in the summer. A really delightful read with a perfect ending!
