Produktbeschreibung
It's 1959 and eighteen-year-old Sophie is determined that now is the time for her real life to start. Her existence in the village of Poynsdean, Sussex, with her austere foster-father, the Reverend Osbert Knox, and his frustrated wife Alice, is stultifying. She finds brief excitement in an illicit love affair, but soon determines that if she wants to live life on a bigger canvas she must take matters into her own hands. She dreams of escape to Paris, the Wartime home her mother fled before her birth. Getting there will take spirit and ingenuity, but also offers the chance to discover more about her family background, and perhaps find a place where she can finally belong. When Sophie eventually arrives in the city of her dreams it's both everything she imagined, and not at all what she expected.
