When a deed to a Paris apartment is discovered in an old attic trunk, an estranged mother and daughter must come together to unveil the hidden life of their family matriarch. Hannah Bond, a devoted bookworm, leaves her tumultuous life in Florida behind for a serene existence leading Jane Austen-themed tours in the British countryside. However, her world is upended on New Year's Eve when she returns to her London flat to find her mother, Marla, waiting for her with a black eye from her ex-boyfriend and an envelope containing the deed to the Paris apartment, an old key, and newspaper clippings about the death of a renowned writer, Andres Armand. Hesitant about her mother's intentions, Hannah reluctantly agrees to travel to Paris. There, they uncover great-grandma Ivy's apartment, frozen in 1940 and shrouded in dust. Inside, they find clues about Ivy's life, including a diary filled with tales of evenings spent with Hemingway, the Fitzgeralds, and other legendary expatriates. As they explore the city, they seek to understand why Ivy concealed her Parisian identity from future generations. This heartwarming saga set in the City of Lights celebrates the enduring bond between mother and daughter.

Robert Shelton lernte Bob Dylan kennen, als dieser 1961 ins Greenwich Village nach New York kam. Im Laufe der Zeit wurde er sein Freund und Kritiker. Sheltons Biografie über Dylan, erstmals erschienen 1986, gilt heute als Klassiker des Genres. Und von den über 1.000 Büchern, die über das Genie geschrieben wurden, ist Sheltons Werk bis heute das einzige, das Dylan aktiv unterstützte. Die längst überfällige, vollständig überarbeitete Neuausgabe anlässlich Dylans 70sten Geburtstags enthält bisher unveröffentlichte Passagen des Originalmanuskripts, aktualisierte Fußnoten, zahlreiche Fotos der wichtigsten Lebensstationen und nicht zuletzt eine aktualisierte Diskografie.
