In the midst of the Second World War, in Paris, a young woman is drafted to work at an art gallery where the highest members of the Nazi forces show up to divvy out great artworks between themselves.

In the present day, a woman fleeing her own grief is forced to confront a family secret.

Natasha Lester's latest book, The Riviera House, melds these two stories and takes readers into a history of art, fashion, and remarkable women.
