The Book of Lost and Found

A sweeping multigenerational story of nostalgia, love, and family secretsYoung photographer Kate Darling is reeling from the recent death of her mother, an orphan who became a celebrated ballerina. Grieving and lonely, Kate’s only close companion is her ailing adoptive grandmother, Evie. When Evie reveals a terrible secret, Kate is compelled to rediscover a family history she had thought was lost forever.The story Kate finds is one tightly interwoven with twentieth-century history -- from the heady days of the Roaring Twenties, through the economic crash and political tension of the ’30s, to the grim reality of the Second World War. But it is also the story of a couple deeply in love, separated by the rigid expectations of family and by the events that supersede them.Moving between London, New York, Paris, Venice and Corsica, The Book of Lost and Found is a sweeping story of love across borders and generations, and of cherished dreams and lost possibilities.

Lucy Foley blends a rich history, haunting secrets and a timeless love story' Santa Montefiore, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Deverill series ISTANBUL, 1921 Before the Occupation, Nur's city was a tapestry of treasures: the Grand Bazaar alive with colour, trinkets and spices; saffron sunsets melting into the black waters of the Bosphorus; the sweet fragrance of the fig trees dancing on the summer breeze . . .

Stumbling through the streets, carrying the embroideries that have become her livelihood, she avoids the gazes of the Allied soldiers. Survival is everything. When Nur chances upon George Monroe, a medical officer in the British Army, it is easy to hate him. Yet the lines between enemy and friend grow fainter. She and the boy would both be at risk. Nur knows that she cannot afford to fall - impossibly and dangerously - in love . . .

Lucy Foley Untitled Crime 2

On an island off the coast of Ireland, guests gather to celebrate two people joining their lives together as one. The handsome and charming, a rising television star. The smart and ambitious, a magazine publisher. It’s a wedding for a magazine, or for a the designer dress, the remote location, the luxe party favors, the boutique whiskey. The cell phone service may be spotty and the waves may be rough, but every detail has been expertly planned and will be expertly executed.But perfection is for plans, and people are all too human. As the champagne is popped and the festivities begin, resentments and petty jealousies begin to mingle with the reminiscences and well wishes. The groomsmen begin the drinking game from their school days. The bridesmaid not-so-accidentally ruins her dress. The bride’s oldest (male) friend gives an uncomfortably caring toast.And then someone turns up dead. Who didn’t wish the happy couple well? And perhaps more important, why?
