Week in Paris

An aspiring musician discovers her mother’s former life in pre-WWII Paris in this “elegiac tale of wartime love and secrets” (Telegraph, UK).

When talented young violinist Fay Knox arrives in Paris from England, the city feels familiar to her. But not because Fay has visited Paris before. Back home, she finds an old canvas bag with a mysterious luggage tag hidden in her mother’s old trunk, and soon starts to realize her connection with the streets of Paris runs deeper than she ever imagined.

As Fay traces the past, she is taken back to 1937 Paris—and the eve of a war that changed her mother’s life forever. When she discovers a dark secret buried years ago, Fay begins to question who she really is and where she belongs.

Filled with romance, family secrets, and the allure of Paris, Rachel Hore’s A Week in Paris is the compelling story of two women living in two very different worlds who share far more than a passion for music.
