Another time-shifting story. These are becoming very popular and I like them when done well, as Tessaros fragrantly evocative book is. The stories of Grace Monroe, a 1955 London wife who moves in rarified social circles, and Eva dOrsey, a Frenchwoman shes never met, collide when Eva dies and makes Grace her beneficiary. When Grace travels to Paris to meet with the lawyers for what she thinks is a misunderstanding, she will embark on a search for Evas past from 1927 New York, to 1932 Monte Carlo, to Paris during the Nazi occupation until Evas death. Who is Eva and what is she to Grace?
