Lost Carousel of Provence
Lost Carousel of Provence | Juliet Blackwell
16 posts | 11 read | 18 to read
An artist lost to history, a family abandoned to its secrets, and the woman whose search for meaning unearths it all in a sweeping and expressive story from the New York Times bestselling author of Letters from Paris. Long, lonely years have passed for the crumbling Chteau Clement, nestled well beyond the rolling lavender fields and popular tourist attractions of Provence. Once a bustling and dignified ancestral estate, now all that remains is the chteau's gruff, elderly owner and the softly whispered secrets of generations buried and forgotten. But time has a way of exposing history's dark stains, and when American photographer Cady Drake finds herself drawn to the chteau and its antique carousel, she longs to explore the relic's shadowy origins beyond the small scope of her freelance assignment. As Cady digs deeper into the past, unearthing century-old photographs of the Clement carousel and its creators, she might be the one person who can bring the past to light and reunite a family torn apart.

FEATURING: THE LOST CAROUSEL OF PROVENCE by Juliet Blackwell

A charming, heart-warming read.

The characters were lovely, and the story line was creative, uplifting, and positive.

France, carousels, lovable characters, and a marvelous story line.

I love all of her books, but this is a favorite.

What a great book! Picked it up randomly at the library ages ago and was going to return without reading it but I'm so glad I did. Charming without being sappy!

Trying to decide what to start next - I have 2 library books, an ARC on the kindle, and #lmpbc (although I've already read that book many years ago - the Eyre Affair). Decisions, decisions....

monalyisha The Lost Carousel looks pretty! 🎠 💜 6y
YasmiNova I'm minded to say The Silent Patient, just because of the author's Cypriot roots :) 6y

Such a sweet story!!! A loner all her life, Candy steps outside her comfort zone to follow a mystery and her dream. She finds her place in the world and so much more. While a little slow at times, I‘m so glad I stuck with it!!! 😁💜

I really loved this sweet read! Told from multiple POVs and traveling back and forth in time, we learn about the making of carousels. I enjoyed the characters and the setting, and really just wanted to stay within the pages of this book! I voluntarily reviewed an eARC copy provided by the publisher via NetGalley.

I‘ve been dealing with one of life‘s curveballs, healthwise, so have had a lot of time to read lately. The graphic here shows a few of the books I‘ve finished. This one by Juliet Blackwell was a lovely little diversion. If you enjoy Blackwell‘s other books, you‘ll like this one.

kspenmoll I have enjoyed her books, thanks for referral! 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage Sending you hugs, from one who understands that type of curveball. ❤️ 6y
MaleficentBookDragon I‘m right there with you. I hope things improve for you. 🤗 6y

I won an ARC of this, and honestly, I‘m on the fence. 20 pages in and there‘s an almost tangible feeling to the book (like, I can practically hear café music) but the author is just rushing the plot. Characters appear like a damn magic trick with little to no context. The contemporary plot is so forced, it feels like I‘m being begged to believe it.
