Description

From London to Corsica to Paris — as a young woman pursues the truth about her late mother, two captivating love stories unfurl in this captivating novel from the author of the New York Times bestsellers The Paris Apartment and The Guest List. Kate Darling's enigmatic mother — a once-famous ballerina — has passed away, leaving Kate bereft. When her grandmother falls ill and bequeaths to Kate a small portrait of a woman who bears a striking resemblance to Kate's mother, Kate uncovers a mystery that may upend everything she thought she knew.Kate's journey to find the true identity of the woman in the portrait takes her to some of the world's most iconic and indulgent locales, revealing a love story that began in the wild 1920s and was disrupted by war and could now spark new love for Kate. Alternating between Kate's present-day hunt and voices from the past, The Book of Lost and Found casts light on family secrets and love — both lost and found.

Booklist Review

An artist's sketch of a young woman, hidden from sight for years, bridges connections in this multigenerational love story. After Kate Darling's famed ballerina mother, June, dies in a plane crash, Kate is shocked when her adoptive grandmother gives her a sketch of a woman closely resembling her mother and confesses to having rebuffed requests from June's alleged birth mother to meet. The sketch turns out to be an early work by renowned artist Thomas Stafford, who is stunned to once again see his portrayal of the love of his life, Alice Eversley. The aging Stafford unreels his story to Kate in his home in Corsica, sending her to Paris and New York on a quest for answers about her family heritage. Foley deftly handles narratives by multiple voices that move seamlessly back and forth from the 1920s to 1986, with a vivid section set in Nazi-occupied France, as Alice and Tom are separated by happenstance, war, and deceptions as painful as they are well meant. A lovely and moving debut.--Leber, Michele Copyright 2015 Booklist
