Welcome to Litsy!

An unlikely duo ventures through France and Italy to solve the mystery of a child�s fate in this moving, page-turning novel from �a gifted storyteller� (People). For decades, Nick Burns has been haunted by a decision he made as a young soldier in World War I, when a French artist he�d befriended thrust both her paintings and her baby into his hands�and disappeared. In 1974, with only months left to live, Nick enlists Jenny, a college dropout desperate for adventure, to help him unravel the mystery. The journey leads them from Paris galleries and provincial towns to a surprising place: the Museum of Tears, the life�s work of a lonely Italian craftsman. Determined to find the baby and the artist, hopeless romantic Jenny and curmudgeonly Nick must reckon with regret, betrayal, and the lives they�ve left behind. With characteristic warmth and verve, Ann Hood captures a world of possibility and romance through the eyes of a young woman learning to claim her place in it. The Stolen Child is an engaging, timeless novel of secrets, love lost and found, and the nature of forgiveness.
