From Paris With Flowers

While writing this book, I followed my characters to the most impressive cafes, beautiful balconies and beloved views of Paris. On this trip, I climbed the steps of Montmartre, admired the colorful views in the Rue de Cler market, and sipped espresso in hidden cafes in the small side streets. They were all unforgettable.

But this story goes deeper than chocolate croissants and the Eiffel Tower on a spring day. The pages of this story deal with heartaches and traumas in the war-torn Paris of the 1940s. Nowadays, characters who are able or unable to resist, forgive and love.

This book is my love letter to Paris. And maybe one day, I'll write another letter. For now, I hope you enjoy this story, the characters, and everything about Paris that I dreamed of, down to the smallest detail.

With her unique gripping style, Sarah Jio reminds us of the important things in life by building a bridge between the past and the present with strong female characters who are two water lilies sunk deep in murky waters in this novel.
