My guest this week is bestselling author Barbara Davis who has, astonishingly, written nine books in the past ten years. She’s a beautiful writer of complicated women and their familial relationships. Her lastest novel, “The Keeper of Happy Endings,” builds upon an unlikely friendship in 1984 Boston between 20-something Rory and 60-something Soline, a recluse from war-torn Paris who once created magical wedding dresses. While what unites them initially may be a recognition of similar loss, what unfolds is a friendship that uncovers truth, dispels mysteries and contains just a little bit of magic.

In our conversation, Barbara discusses generational curses, hidden scars, magical wedding dresses, what draws her to exploring mother-daughter dynamics, and so much more. Then, she treats us to a reading from “The Keeper of Happy Endings.”

About Us
Since well before Victor Hugo looked up at Notre Dame and thought, "Huh... what if a hunchback lived in there?" authors have been inspired by Paris. The Storytime in Paris podcast will help keep this tradition alive with short interviews and readings from your favorite contemporary authors with a French connection.
 
Every episode will feature five questions, asked by you, our authors' biggest fans, and answered live on air. Then, our authors will treat us to a reading of an excerpt from their book. Who knows? Maybe you'll even be inspired to write your own Great French Novel. Happy listening!
