I just wanted to report this novel, to be released today.
Usually I do not, blogs are much more precise and documented in my preview that have libraries, but because the story intrigued me so much that I said to myself, let's talk!
Paris. The box is hidden in a drawer. For years he kept fragments of a life away and now just waiting to be discovered. Trevor Stratton, an American professor, finds her by chance.
Inside, letters, old photos, diary entries, various objects, among which a pair of gloves to the network. The gloves of a saint or a sinner?
Trevor does not know. For now just know that the woman who wore them was called Louise Brunet and lived in Paris between the wars. The response to other questions in those fragments, including their scents and secrets of the hidden words and those sepia portraits.
Piece by piece, word after word, Trevor tries to reconstruct the life of the unknown woman. Tender and tragic love for his cousin to the strange relationship with his father, a marriage marked by boredom to passion, and not prohibited, for charming French teacher, his neighbor at number 13 Rue Thérèse. But Trevor
more dips in the objects of the past and back to the places of Louise, as something strange and mysterious began to happen in this life. Who is really
Josianne, the red-haired girl who seems to foresee any movement Stratton?
Why the professor feels so attracted to her?
What that girl really knows about Louise Brunet?
Only the box has the truth. Only objects keep a promise and a hope. It is up to Trevor to discern between reality and fiction so that the fate take its course.
