Literary Redhead's Reviews > The Paris Secret

Another triumph from Lester, featuring her signature multi-timeline narrative. Set initially with the first female RAF pilots and the French Resistance, then weary post-war Paris, and finally the present as fashion conservator Kat finds Dior gowns and family secrets in her grandmother’s cottage.

Lester writes elegant historical fiction about love, loss and beauty. I thought not one second about COVID while swept into the story, engaged by the gutsy female characters, and dreaming of long satin dresses. Ooh là là!

One request: The cover is not as gorgeous as the Down Under market version, as has been the case with Lester’s previous novels. All her books deserve haute couture treatment!
