‘An enchanting memoir that will stay with you long after you close
the book.’
*Rebecca Raisin, bestselling author of the Little Paris
Collection*
‘A beautiful celebration of the profound healing power of stories
shared.’
*Karina Machado, author of Spirit Sisters*
‘An amazing story which gave me tingles.’
*Carla Coulson, author of Paris Tango and Italian
Joy*
‘The most affecting story here is that of the story itself: the
tensions between what is written and what is spoken, and who
controls the narrative … A Letter from Paris is a sobering reminder
of the ease with which our stories can be warped by the prevailing
attitudes of the time – and the crucial importance of archives in
the preservation of lives and literature.
*The Guardian*
‘Truly enthralling reading … Louisa’s writing is raw, intimate and
unpretentious, and she shares her experiences in such a way that
the reader is invested from page one.’

*The French Village Diaries*

man who lived life to the full. For readers interested in family
history, the message is simple. Don’t give up!’
*Weekly Times*
‘Enchanting.’
*The New Daily*
‘A beautiful, true story, engagingly told. So much joy and kindness
between the covers.’
*Natasha Lester, author of The Paris Seamstress*
