Description
It is 1993. Chloé Taylor, having just graduated college, finds her life changed forever after opening a letter from her great-grandmother, Camille Laver. A great-grandmother Chloé never knew existed. Leaving her peaceful life in Seattle, Chloé travels to New Orleans to discover the secrets of her family's historic past, full of love and tragedy from 1890s Paris. She discovers an ineffable love of a lifetime that sprang up during the La Belle Epoque between Camille's gypsy courtesan mother, Tessa Laver, and a successful aristocratic banker, René Nattier.
While getting to know Camille and the stories she has to tell, Chloé meets Nick, a charming local lawyer. Over the next few weeks, Chloé discovers the undeniable reality of true love and loss through a magical connection that spans over a century between herself and Tessa. During an unforgettable New Orleans summer, serendipity brings two souls together once more, proving, just as with time, that love is never-ending.
