This is a good summer beach book. I became interested in the true story of the abandoned Paris apartment and wanted to know more about it. This fictionalized account was all I could find. I'm not sure how much of it is actually true. But it's a fun read, one I consider chic lit. There are 2 stories - the modern one and the one that takes place in late 1890's. I like the latter story better but the modern one kept it going. This is a good get-away for the mind. Good summer fun.

This was very readable and held my interest throughout the entire book. I enjoyed the way it followed the family dynamics of two very different women - one in the early 1900's and one contemporary. The ending came very quickly and answered some questions that I had.
