Praise for A Secret Garden in Paris:
‘There’s something special about Sophie Beaumont’s writing. Her stories are both exotic and enchanting, and familiar and friendly. You know the streets; you’ve walked them. You know the characters; you’ve met them. With her words, Sophie builds worlds solid enough to touch.’ – Australian Women’s Weekly
‘Beaumont’s own French Australian background and her fondness for the French capital are evident in this novel about the healing power of women’s friendships and new beginnings.’ – The Australian
‘The gorgeous gardens that exist behind high walls are characters in their own right, complementing the stories, adding colour and warmth.’ – Good Reading
