A glorious read! So evocative. Conjures the excitement of Paris so vividly that the reader cannot fail to be swept along on the journey. A magical coming-of-age story. I loved it! -- Ruth Hogan, bestselling author of The Keeper of Lost Things Elizabeth Buchan's books are always original, beautifully written and page turning. Bonjour, Sophie is just as wonderful, unlike anything I've read before. I loved it. -- Katie Fforde You'll adore meeting Sophie in this delightful, funny, poignant story that's suffused with the atmosphere of Paris on the cusp of the Sixties -- Rachel Hore A rich and enthralling read ... I felt as though I was being swept away by the power of a modern Thomas Hardy .... This is a coming-of-age story set in magical locations with a heroine you can't resist falling in love with. A novel that will appeal to all ages, and a sure hit. -- Carol Drinkwater, bestselling author of The Olive Farm One of my favourite authors and someone I go to for that alchemy of story and fabulous writing. A wonderful book - warm, compassionate and nuanced. I loved it. -- Emma Curtis A coming-of-age novel and so much more. Buchan weaves her narrative into a mystery that must be solved as much for the reader as for Sophie, whose story recalled, for me, the young heroines of Elizabeth Jane Howard, modern women cramped by convention, yet spirited and courageous. A wonderful, engrossing, tear-jerking and joyful read. -- Elizabeth Fremantle Memorable and emotionally charged ... an immersive, sensory, page-turning experience. Elizabeth Buchan is skilled at exploring moral complexities big and small, from thwarted love affairs in the Sussex countryside, to dysfunctional families, to life in Paris under Nazi occupation. She takes us through the back alleys of History, among stories that are not widely known, and brings those settings vividly to life -- Jane Thynne A beautiful and poignant coming of age story that whisks you away on a magical journey to Paris -- Becky Hunter Buchan is always brilliant on love and this gorgeously written novel has as many twists and shadows as the baroque city in which it is set. * Wendy Holden, Daily Mail on Two Women in Rome * Buchan is a skilful writer ... captivating * Sunday Times on Two Women in Rome *
