Critics Review
Praise for The Foreign Correspondent’s Wife:
“For fans of both Agatha Christie and Julia Child, The Foreign Correspondent’s Wife is an atmospheric, charged, and charming grand gâteau of a novel. The vividly evoked 1950s Parisian setting is glamorous, and its juxtaposition against the shadows of the Occupation adds gravitas. A delicious page-turner with a delightful new heroine who proves that, for many, the war never truly ended.”
—Susan Elia MacNeal, New York Times bestselling author of the Maggie Hope series
