A missing person, a grieving family, a curious clue: a half-finished
manuscript set in Paris
Once a week, I chase men who are not my husband. . . .
When eccentric novelist Robert Eady abruptly vanishes, he leaves behind
his wife, Leah, their daughters, and, hidden in an unexpected spot,
plane tickets to Paris.
Hoping to uncover clues--and her husband--Leah sets off for France with
her girls. Upon their arrival, she discovers an unfinished manuscript,
one Robert had been writing without her knowledge . . . and that he had
set in Paris. The Eady girls follow the path of the manuscript to a
small, floundering English-language bookstore whose weary proprietor is
eager to sell. Leah finds herself accepting the offer on the spot.
As the family settles into their new Parisian life, they trace the
literary paths of some beloved Parisian classics, including Madeline
and The Red Balloon, hoping more clues arise. But a series of
startling discoveries forces Leah to consider that she may not be ready
for what solving this mystery might do to her family--and the Paris she
thought she knew.
Charming, haunting, and triumphant, Paris by the Book follows one
woman's journey as she writes her own story, exploring the power of
family and the magic that hides within the pages of a book.
