The Paris Affair is a dual-timeline novel set between 1940s Paris and 2002 Germany.

"As the Second World War rages around them, Christoph and Sylvie are two star-crossed lovers determined to fight for their survival. But then one night, Sylvie disappears without a trace.

“Sixty years later, Christoph’s health and memories are fading, so his musical protégé, Julia, uses an old recipe book to re-capture Christoph’s mind. With each recipe, the memories of Sylvie begin to return to Christoph, so Julia makes it her mission to return to Paris and find the woman who disappeared. This is a story of survival, of long-lost love, and the importance of never giving up.”
