ABOUT I’LL SEE YOU IN PARIS

In her New York Times bestselling debut, A Paris Apartment, Michelle Gable fictionalized the true story of a French courtesan and the discovery of her sealed-for-seventy-years Parisian apartment, which was filled to the rafters with stunning pieces of artwork and furniture, sparking wonder in readers the world over.

Gable’s second novel, I’ll See You in Paris, begins when 19-year-old Laurel Haley takes a job in England. She’s just lost her fiancé in the Vietnam War, so she doesn’t expect to meet a man who will take her to Paris and alter everything she believes about love. Thirty years later, Laurel’s daughter Annie is newly engaged when an old question resurfaces: who is Annie’s father and what happened to him? The key to unlocking Laurel’s secrets starts with a mysterious book about an infamous woman known as the Duchess of Marlborough. Annie’s quest to understand the Duchess, and therefore her own history, takes her from a hamlet in the English countryside, to a decaying estate behind barbed wire, and finally, to Paris, where answers will be found at last. In the end, she not only solves the riddle of the Duchess but also uncovers the missing pieces in her own life.
