The ghosts of her past

Colette Marceau has been stealing jewels for as long as she can remember, following the code of honor instilled in her by her mother. Never was their family tradition more important than during the Second World War, when they worked side by side in Paris to fund the French Resistance.

But one night in 1942, it all went wrong. Annabel was arrested, and Colette’s four-year-old sister, Liliane, disappeared, along with an exquisite diamond bracelet sewn into the hem of her nightgown. Soon after, Annabel was executed, and Liliane’s body was found floating in the Seine—but the bracelet was nowhere to be found.

Seventy years later, Colette’s life begins to unravel when the long-missing bracelet suddenly turns up in a museum exhibit in Boston.

Review Quote

“Colette’s feisty spirit—both as a young girl and later as an older woman reassessing her life and her choices—makes this story joyous and ultimately triumphant. I loved it.” ―Fiona Davis
