2023: A life-affirming novel about second chances
Jess Bright, single mum and journalist, feels her life has stalled. So when she’s offered a writing job in Paris for the summer, she leaps at the chance to go back to a city full of old memories and the promise of new opportunities.
Her subject is the iconic artist Adelaide Fox, whose personal life has always been steeped in scandal and intrigue. Now approaching eighty, she’s ready to tell her side of the story – and serve up some scalding-hot revenge in the process.
Amidst a stormy working relationship, Jess and Adelaide must face up to their pasts. As passionate affairs, terrible betrayals and life-changing secrets surface, there may be more surprises in store than either of them dared imagine . . .
Paris, London and Kent
The early part of the story is set in Kent but this is vague and locations are in name only. When Adelaide starts to talk about London, that city back in her day, does come alive and certain streets are meant to be explored!
However, Paris is where it’s at. The sights and sounds of this city always appeal but there is real emotion attached to this visit as the character is returning here and facing her old memories as well as making new ones and helping someone else express theirs. Complicated feelings in the city of love and lights.
