An artist lost to history, a family abandoned to its secrets, and the
woman whose search for meaning unearths it all in a sweeping and
expressive story from the New York Times bestselling author of
Letters from Paris.
Long, lonely years have passed for the crumbling Château Clement,
nestled well beyond the rolling lavender fields and popular tourist
attractions of Provence. Once a bustling and dignified ancestral estate,
now all that remains is the château's gruff, elderly owner and the
softly whispered secrets of generations buried and forgotten.
But time has a way of exposing history's dark stains, and when American
photographer Cady Drake finds herself drawn to the château and its
antique carousel, she longs to explore the relic's shadowy origins
beyond the small scope of her freelance assignment. As Cady digs deeper
into the past, unearthing century-old photographs of the Clement
carousel and its creators, she might be the one person who can bring the
past to light and reunite a family torn apart.
