So much joy and kindness between the covers."--Natasha Lester, <i>USA Today<i>-bestselling author of <i>The Paris Seamstress.<i>s.<i><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>A father's long-lost letters spark a compelling tale of inheritance and creativity, loss and reunion</strong></p> <p>When Louisa Deasey receives a message from a Frenchwoman called Coralie, who has found a cache of letters in an attic, written about Louisa's father, neither woman can imagine the events it will set in motion.</p> <p>The letters, dated 1949, detail a passionate affair between Louisa's father, Denison, and Coralie's grandmother, Michelle, in post-war London. They spark Louisa to find out more about her father, who died when she was six. From the seemingly simple question "Who was Denison Deasey?" follows a trail of discovery that leads Louisa to the streets of London, to the cafes and restaurants of Paris and a poet's villa in the south of France. From her father's secret service in World War II to his relationships with some of the most famous bohemian artists in post-war Europe, Louisa unearths a portrait of a fascinating man, both at the epicenter and the mercy of the social and political currents of his time.</p> <p><em>A Letter from Paris</em> is about the stories we tell ourselves, and the secrets the past can uncover, showing the power of the written word to cross the bridges of time.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"A beautiful true story, engagingly told.
