The concept behind the Museum of Broken Promises immediately captured my attention. The reasons for some of the donated items were so well put within the story and really helped to bring the museum to reality.I enjoyed them so much I would have loved for even more to have been included! We also learn early on how Laure, the museum’s curator has donated her own item to the museum and this really made me want to carry on reading.The story switches between the present day in Paris where the museum can be found. I found it really interesting learning about Laure’s life , a communist city full of darkness and misery and the love she develops for a musician.I never knew before what life at this time was like and learnt much about how dangerous it must have been for Laure and Tomas to meet in this time period.I would certainly recommend longer periods of time to sit and read this book to fully appreciate the detail and historical information that is so beautifully contained within. I really enjoyed learning about Laure’s journey of love and discovery in a city so different to anything she had ever experienced before. This is such a wonderful story that has made me feel grateful for my life .It is also a reminder of how forgiveness and acceptance of the past can help you to truly move forward and fully enjoy the life you are currently living.
