Chasing Sylvia Beach

An impromptu trip to the City of Light carries a young bookseller to 1937 Paris. But it’s not the friendly literary community she had imagined and Lily Heller becomes a character inside the world that she had fantasized about—but with chilling consequences. 


In her quest to return home, Lily throws herself on the mercy of legendary Shakespeare and Company bookseller Sylvia Beach. 


A celebration of a timeless city’s allure, an engaging romantic fantasy, and a valentine to book lovers in every era, Chasing Sylvia Beach is a novel to savor.
