Stunningly beautiful novel
The Museum of Broken Promises by Elizabeth Buchan is a gorgeous, well written love story and I enjoyed every moment.
The story has two settings - firstly it is set in the Paris of today at the Museum of Broken Promises where unusual and important objects have been donated each with a tragic back story. The museum is looked after by Laure.
The second setting is Prague, 1985 during the Cold War where we follow a young Laure who has fled there after her fathers' death. The city is a dangerous place but Laure cannot help falling in love and this relationship will be the most dangerous thing of all...
I don't want to say any more as its best to not know anything but suffice to say this is a beautiful life affirming book and I adored it with all my heart and soul
