If you loved The Velvet Hours by Alyson Richman, you‘ll love this. Marthe de Florian (in Boldini portrait above) locked her 9th arrondissement apartment door before the Nazis conquered Paris, and never looked back. When a Sotheby‘s expert enters the apartment in early 21st century, she finds treasures there, including boxes of Madame F‘s correspondence....HF
