Spotlight and Giveaway: The Stolen Life of Colette Marceau

We are pleased to feature Kristin Harmel's latest stunning piece of historical fiction, The Stolen Life of Colette Marceau. Melissa loved it, of course, and will be reviewing it soon. You can check out her Bookstagram post about it in the meantime. Thanks to Gallery, we have THREE copies to give away!

For decades, Colette Marceau has lived by a code passed down from her mother, Annabel: steal only from the cruel, and give to those in need. During the Second World War, that code guided them as they used their skills to fund the French Resistance—until a 1942 raid changed everything. Annabel was captured and executed, and Colette’s young sister, Liliane, vanished, along with a diamond bracelet hidden in her nightgown. Liliane’s body was later found in the Seine—but the bracelet was gone.

Seventy years later, Colette has quietly “redistributed” millions in jewels to worthy causes. But when the long-lost bracelet resurfaces in a Boston museum, the past she’s tried to bury resurfaces with it. As she investigates its path through history, Colette uncovers startling truths about that night—and someone from her past who may know far more than they ever admitted. To solve the mystery and seek justice, she must finally face her grief—and risk opening her heart one last time.

“A dazzling diamond of a novel…. Kristin Harmel has a rare ability to touch the heart.” 
—Hazel Gaynor, New York Times bestselling author of Before Dorothy

“Colette’s feisty spirit—both as a young girl and later as an older woman reassessing her life and her choices—makes this story joyous and ultimately triumphant. I loved it.” 
—Fiona Davis, New York Times bestselling author of The Stolen Queen

“This stunning and fastidiously researched story examines the complexity of morality, and the power that ordinary people have to enact change in the world around them. I never wanted to reach the end." 

—Colleen Oakley, USA Today bestselling author of Jane and Dan at the End of the World
