A Letter from Paris: a true story of hidden art, lost romance, and family reclaimed

Paperback | English

By (author): Louisa Deasey

When Louisa Deasey receives a message from a Frenchwoman called Coralie, who has found a cache of letters in an attic, written about Louisa''s father, neither woman can imagine the events it will set in motion.

The letters, dated 1949, detail a passionate affair between Louisa''s father, Denison, and Coralie''s grandmother, Michelle, in post-war London. They spark Louisa to find out more about her father, who died when she was six. From the seemingly simple question ''Who was Denison Deasey?'' follows a trail of discovery that leads Louisa to the libraries of Melbourne and the streets of London, to the cafes and restaurants of Paris and a poet''s villa in the south of France. From her father''s secret service in World War II to his relationships with some of the most famous bohemian artists in post-war Europe, Louisa unearths a portrait of a fascinating man, both at the epicentre and the mercy of the social and political currents of his time.

A Letter from Paris is about the stories we tell ourselves, and the secrets the past can uncover. A compelling tale of inheritance and creativity, loss and reunion, it shows the power of the written word to cross the bridges of time.
