This book is contemporary fiction with a sprinkle of historical fiction in the form of diary entries. Hannah is an American expat in London guiding Jane Austen themed tours when her grandmother who raised her dies and her estranged mother. Marla, shows up in London with a deed to a Paris apartment she found among the deceased's possessions. This leads Hannah and Marla on a road to discover who Hannah's great-grandmother was and how maybe Grandma Ivy can heal the wounds between mother and daughter as her story is uncovered. We get cameos from members of The Lost Generation like Ernest Hemingway, Gertrude Stein, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Pablo Picasso. This story felt light and fluffy as I read it while still dealing with heavy topics. I was fully immersed in this one. Plus the narration by Emily Tremaine and Imogen Church had me stealing moments to go listen to more.
