Description
From London to Corsica to Paris — as a young woman pursues the truth about her late mother, two captivating love stories unfurl in this captivating novel from the author of the New York Times bestsellers The Paris Apartment and The Guest List.
Kate Darling's enigmatic mother — a once-famous ballerina — has passed away, leaving Kate bereft. When her grandmother falls ill and bequeaths to Kate a small portrait of a woman who bears a striking resemblance to Kate's mother, Kate uncovers a mystery that may upend everything she thought she knew.
Kate's journey to find the true identity of the woman in the portrait takes her to some of the world's most iconic and indulgent locales, revealing a love story that began in the wild 1920s and was disrupted by war and could now spark new love for Kate. Alternating between Kate's present-day hunt and voices from the past, The Book of Lost and Found casts light on family secrets and love — both lost and found.

3By Ljs930I liked much of this book, but didn’t love it. It dragged on at times and then ended so abruptly. I know every love story doesn’t have a happy ending, but there were too many details that weren’t wrapped up which just left me disappointed.Hungry still loved the chapters given
4By #MeliciousI have a feeling of being hungry at the end. This is a beautiful story. Well written. Most questions that you may have as you read are answered. But the I came to the end. I needed more. I have wrapped my life around these characters and feel…unfulfilled. Please add a longer epilogue. Don’t make me imply a summary to lives. Feed me more.So wonderful
