An artist lost to history, a family abandoned to its secrets, and the woman whose search for meaning unearths it all in a sweeping and expressive story from The New York Times best-selling author of Letters from Paris.

Long, lonely years have passed for the crumbling Château Clement, nestled well beyond the rolling lavender fields and popular tourist attractions of Provence. Once a bustling and dignified ancestral estate, now all that remains is the château's gruff, elderly owner and the softly whispered secrets of generations buried and forgotten.

But time has a way of exposing history's dark stains, and when American photographer Cady Drake finds herself drawn to the château and its antique carousel, she longs to explore the relic's shadowy origins beyond the small scope of her freelance assignment. As Cady digs deeper into the past, unearthing century-old photographs of the Clement carousel and its creators, she might be the one person who can bring the past to light and reunite a family torn apart.

A story of longing to belong, findings one's true place and of lives entwined in loves found and lost makes for a very multi faceted story that moves from past family history to present day beautifully. I love Juliette Blackwell's work and look forward eagerly to the next one. Xe Sands is one of the best Narrators so makes listening a pleasure. The story line took a little to get into but once in, HOOKED. The only difficulty was bouncing between date lines but again once you are ingrained in the story it is not an issue to follow along. Thought the ending was knitted together a little abruptly and too quickly. Like there was a chapter missing. But none the less, loved it.

Not what I expected, It was REALLY GOOD

It was a bit hard to follow the change of time eras but it got better as the story unfolded. I like French history and the representation of what it might have been like in France after the two big world wars and how it affected the common people.

Good story with a bit of history and intrigue

Xerox Sands brings to life another great novel by Juliette Blackwell. A story of longing to belong, findings one's true place and of lives entwined in loves found and lost makes for a very multi faceted story that moves from past family history to present day beautifully. I love Juliette Blackwell's work and look forward eagerly to the next one.

Loved this story, you will too.

I almost didn’t buy this book, but I was in a hurry and about to leave for a long drive, so I did. I am delighted that I did. It wasn’t at all what I expected from the synopsis but instead was an intriguing and charming story about finding where you fit into the world. Excellent well defined characters fill out three separate story lines that inter twine and weave a heartbreaking fable that somehow all comes out well in the end. I’ve never read Juliet Blackwell before, but she will be on my Go To list from now on.

A sweet surprise (No Spoilers)

This book combines his historical fiction, a fresh new idea of the subject line with a carousel at the center, and a wonderful immersion of French culture.

Interesting and a good srory
