About this listen
Inspired by the incredible true story of Lee Miller, Vogue model turned one of the first female war photojournalists, the new novel by the best-selling author of The Paris Seamstress.
Paris, 1942: When Jessica May's successful modelling career in Manhattan is abruptly cut short, she is assigned to the war in Europe as a photojournalist for Vogue. But when she arrives the army men make her life as difficult as possible. Three friendships change that: journalist Martha Gellhorn encourages Jess to bend the rules, paratrooper Dan Hallworth takes her to places to shoot pictures and write stories that matter and a little girl, Victorine, who has grown up in a field hospital, shows her love. But success comes at a price.
France, 2005: Australian curator D'Arcy Hallworth arrives at a beautiful chateau to manage a famous collection of photographs. What begins as just another job becomes far more disquieting as D'Arcy uncovers the true identity of the mysterious photographer - and realises that she is connected to D'Arcy's own mother, Victorine.
Crossing a war-torn Europe from Italy to France, The French Photographer is a story of courage, family and forgiveness, by the best-selling author of The Paris Seamstress and A Kiss from Mr Fitzgerald.

A Roller-coaster of Emotion
OMG what a tumult of emotions. A beautifully written narrative set in both war time and present day. Interconnecting lives and hidden truths, waiting to he uncovered. Essentially a powerful love story that you won't want to put down. Excellent narration and the links to real people make it so worth listening to.

Another captivating read
I have become a bit of a fan of Natasha Lester’s books on Audible, and this most recent offering does not disappoint. I enjoyed following the stories of the different characters through their various timelines, and enjoyed the story overall (although perhaps ‘enjoy’ might not be the right word, given the less than pleasant story content in parts).

Beautiful
A beautiful story woven through time. The words really brought the people & places alive. Felt like I had to say a sad goodbye to old friends when it finished.

A beautifully moving, heartbreakingly touching story.
So touching and honest, listen the the author’s notes at the end, so much heartbreaking real-ness.
I could stop listening and thinking about this story.
Going to listen to the Paris Seamstress again.

A worthy book
For the most part I liked this book.
It is well-researched and rang true to the age it was depicting.
War really isn’t a place for women.
War is made by men, for men to beat their chests and stuff up the world.
Women do not bear children to send them to war.
The ending was ‘convenient’, which spoilt the book for me.
