So many locations to tell the story! Part of a trilogy and the author explains a bit more about why Paris in this book :
When writing a book about the interwar years, she says she had to bring one sister to Paris. Everyone who was everyone seemed to come to the city during this time. After the horrors of war, the time in Paris was seen to be a relaxing time or one to party!
Ernest Hemingway and F Scott Fitzgerald were there she says and many others from the creative industries.
