When her husband suggests a romantic break, Claire feels obliged to say yes but immediately regrets it. After all that they've been through, how can one weekend in Paris save their marriage
Claire and Ronan aren't the only people on a make-or-break visit to the City of Love. There is a big-shot movie producer from Hollywood, full of regret for a life ill-lived; a student from Boston, torn between love and duty; a Ukrainian refugee struggling to protect her little sister; and an old woman from Dijon, hoping to be braver than she has ever had to be before.
When their lives briefly intertwine, something extraordinary happens ...
PRAISE FOR LAST CHANCE IN PARIS:
'A story of love, loss and redemption in one of the world's most iconic cities' - Sheila O'Flanagan, author of Her Husband's Mistake
Lynda Marron was born in Dublin and spent her early childhood in a small town called Prosperous in Co. Kildare. At the age of nine she moved to Cork. She has not yet mastered the language.
In her teens, she learned that reading curbed her anxiety, and that writing swept it clean away. Thus began her addiction to ink.
Lynda graduated from University College Cork in the mid-nineties with two degrees in microbiology, neither of which brought her any closer to her dream of writing a novel. She opted for the longer route, the Life Experience Creative Writing Course, which included teaching English to Italian teenagers, filing letters in a GP's surgery, writing listicles for an online bookseller, and a twenty-five year module called Read All the Books.
When she isn't busy writing her second novel, you'll find her reading, not weeding, in her rewilded garden. Her greatest ambition is to one day plant a forest, or even just an oak.
Last Chance in Paris is her debut novel.
