Hotel Déjà Vu - Paperback

by Christine Betts (Author)

Edith Piaf had no regrets, but the women who find their way to the door of the Hotel Déjà Vu seem to have a few.

They say we only regret the chances we didn't take, the dream we didn't chase, the career, the one that got away.

Is it really better to have loved and lost?

It's 1944. An ancient stone house near Notre Dame is home to the distinguished de la Roche family. As Paris burns, Antoinette, a scientist working for the resistance, discovers a secret room that sends her back to 1933. Will her hastily scribbled memories help her change the outcome of the war?

Only time will tell.

Paris in the '90s is still a hotbed of creativity and decadence for artists. Artist, Karen, finds herself in the quiet stone room in the house with the blue door, desperate to change her shattered life. She goes back to the last time she can remember being happy...and whole...her arms free of the marks left by the drug she used to escape the pain of being herself.

She uses her second chance to make a better life but not everyone wants to be saved.

Now it's 2016, tour guide Rachel can't believe she lost the man of her dreams twice. She comes face-to-face with her past when her latest tour group arrives to stay in the luxurious home-turned private hotel in Paris, the ancient stone house with the blue door. Between touring Paris, the shopping, and the champagne, the women learn how to let their hair down and have fun again and remember what it is they really want from life and some find they want to do it all again.
