What is The Girl at the Lion D'or about?
In mid- Thirties France, seeking asylum from her past, a penniless orphan turns up as a waitress at a tatty hotel by the sea. Befriended by the local landowner, the girl entrusts him with the highly charged scandal that in the Great War left her parentless. Her longing to be loved seduces him into tackling his own problems -- trauma at Verdun, decrepit estate, childless wife -- with a courage matching hers.... This is a sentimental novel of rare intelligence and passion. -- Mail on SundayA beaut
