Sarah West finds about her ancestor Louisa’s death by
accident from a letter from Marthe de Florian. And she is intrigued and wants
to find out more. How did Louisa really die? Was it a suicide? She goes to
Paris and moves in with artist Laurent Chartier. And starts seeing life in a
new way.
Then we follow Louisa’s story and find out about her remarkable
life and love as Sarah delves in her ancestor’s story. Now Sarah knows what
path to follow for her own life.
FROM A PARIS BALCONY is an intriguing story following the lives
of two remarkable ladies centuries apart. Both their stories are interesting
and will take a reader on a journey of self-exploration. Author Ella Carey pens
these spell-binding tales with her books that hooks readers and keeps them
engrossed till the very last page. And still keep them in the story world long
after they close the book.
Highly recommended for all readers.

MS Carey has done it again taken me on a journey back in time with heartfelt emotion, romance and drama I felt like I was back in these times, times of courtesans wild living before wars came and changed the world where people had to be what was expected of them and there were the few that could let themselves be who they wanted to for a short time and struggling females could become famous.

This is a fabulously written story that delves back in time and brings Sarah's life full circle there is such a blossoming romance between Laurent and Sarah and the settings both in the 1890's and the present are amazing I honestly felt that MS Carey was transporting me to these places. So much history and romance the characters come to life and of course we got to meet up with Cat and Loic from The Paris Time Capsule and to see how woman struggled back then and the courage that Louisa West showed during her life.
