Annie Green is tormented by the memory of what she once had and no longer knows who she is or where she belongs. When her daughters surprise her with a ticket to Paris, she reluctantly leaves Australia on an emotional journey of self-discovery. Her first days in Paris are a disaster. With her broad Australian accent and penchant for garish clothes, she feels out of place and alone. Then a chance meeting with British woman Georgina Hasluck changes everything. Unlike Annie, she’s sophisticated and well-travelled. She also dresses like a rock star and talks like a royal. Despite their differences, Annie and Georgina soon discover their lives are linked by a bond of deep loss. As Paris weaves its magic, their unlikely friendship gives them the courage to confront the past, but can broken hearts ever be mended?
