After an old box from the ground reveals a deed of donation to an apartment in Paris, an estranged mother and daughter set out to uncover the mysterious life chapter of the woman - the head of the family. Perfect for fans of The Lavender Room and The Beekeper’s Daughter.

Hannah Bond has always been a bookworm. That's also why she left Florida - and her unstable alcoholic mother - to immerse herself in a quiet life leading Jane Austen-themed tours of the British countryside. But everything starts to fall apart the moment she returns to her London flat on New Year's Eve, where her mother Marla is already waiting for her.

Marla has three things with her: a gift deed for an apartment in Paris, an old key, and clippings of newspaper articles about the death of the famous writer Andres Armando. Hannah, who has her own opinion about her mother's motives, finally reluctantly agrees to accompany her to Paris so that, world, wonder, together they discover great-grandmother Ivy's apartment, frozen in 1940 and covered in a layer of dust.
