She fled her village for 1930s Paris to save her sister.
At the Blum Foundry, she found a life among artists—and the chance to become a sculptor.
But as unrest closes in, she may lose everything.
After their father’s death, Yvette is distraught she’s the only thing standing between her younger sister and the powerful patriarch of their rural village. When his interest in the girl grows impossible to ignore, Yvette makes a desperate decision.
She runs.
With nothing but an address for a distant cousin, the sisters flee to Paris. They find refuge in the vibrant community surrounding the prestigious Blum Foundry, where sculptors and artisans pour molten bronze into breathtaking works of art.
For the first time in her life, Yvette dares to pursue the dream she buried long ago – to become a sculptor.
When the foundry’s most celebrated artist agrees to tutor her, Yvette carves herself a new life in 1930s Paris, discovering not only friendship… but love.
But beyond the studio doors, tensions are rising in the streets of Paris and the people she loves are drawn into conflicts that threaten to tear their fragile world apart.
Yvette must make an impossible when the Blum Foundry becomes the centre of a violent political struggle:
run again and protect the sister she swore to keep safe…
or stand and risk everything for the life she has created for herself.
Rue de Paradis is perfect for readers who love atmospheric historical fiction, the art world of 1930s Paris, and powerful stories of family, ambition, and the courage to shape your own destiny.
