Produktbeschreibung
Paris, 1949: In this evocative and emotional novel, a young woman crosses continents to vibrant bohemian Paris, determined to make a life for herself as an artist. As the train pulls into the Gare de Lyon in a cloud of steam, art student Jasmine Barrington experiences a surge of excitement mixed with fear. Revelling in her freedom, by day Jasmine throws herself into her studies at the prestigious Beaux Arts school, inspired by her handsome and charismatic teacher, Lachlan. By night, she discovers the smoky cafés and bars of the left bank. But even as she falls in love with the city of light, the strict classical training crushes her creative spirit. She takes comfort in the letters she receives from her home island of Penang - including those from Howard - the man to whom she owes her life. Torn between the sophisticated life of an artist she aspires to, and the world she has always known, can Jasmine find the courage to follow her heart? From the starry nights of post-war Paris to the war-torn jungle of the Malayan peninsula, this heartrending story of love and loss is a must-read for fans of Fiona Valpy, Rhys Bowen and Kristin Hannah.
