After the death of her art dealer father, forty-year-old Gaby Greenwood's unmoored grief drives her to Paris alone, leaving her American husband behind. Where better for an existential crisis than the city so many artists have loved? Walking through the streets, she sees a man with white hair and a worn corduroy jacket-a dead ringer for her late father. A ghost? Or has mourning driven her mad? Then she receives a letter from a woman she never knew existed-her father's lover of three decades. The mysterious Francoise has been entrusted with her father's last gift to Gaby, a valuable seventeenth-century still life. The woman is also the bearer of so many of her father's secrets. But when Gaby takes a French lover, she starts to question everything she ever knew about her father and her own double life: America or Paris, husband or lover, old life or a new, reimagined one?
