Lizzie, the only daughter of celebrated war photographer Kurtiz Ross and her ex-husband Oliver, went missing four years ago. Arriving in Paris following an unconfirmed sighting, Oliver rushes to find her while Kurtiz waits, praying for a reunion. Neither could ever have imagined that by the end of the night the city will have been torn apart by terror - and that their daughter may be among the dead.

As sirens wail and news rolls in, Kurtiz finds comfort in Marguerite Courtenay - a glamorous former actress with her own sad past. As Marguerite distracts Kurtiz with stories of her life in post-war Provence, and begins to reveal secrets of her own, Kurtiz must confront her own ghosts and face up to home truths - truths which lead her back into her own past and Marguerite's.

A heartrending story of loss and enduring love, set between the night of the Paris terror attacks and post-war Provence
