To Capture What We Cannot Keep
Set against the construction of the Eiffel Tower, this novel charts the relationship between a young Scottish widow and a French engineer who, despite constraints of class and wealth, fall in love.In February 1887, Caitriona Wallace and Emile Nouguier meet in a hot air balloon, floating high above Paris, France--a moment of pure possibility. Cait is a widow who because of her precarious financial situation is forced to chaperone two wealthy Scottish charges. But back on firm ground, their vastly different social strata become clear.
As the Eiffel Tower rises, a marvel of steel and air and light, the subject of extreme controversy and a symbol of the future, Cait and Emile must decide what their love is worth.Seamlessly weaving historical detail and vivid Emile is expected to take on the bourgeois stability of his family's business and choose a suitable wife.
