‘Weaves real characters, events, places and an obvious love of fashion into her captivating tale’ Herald Sun
‘What Lester does brilliantly is mingle fiction with fact’ Daily Telegraph
‘A fantastically engrossing story. I loved it’ Kelly Rimmer
‘The French Photographer should not be underestimated. While it sits within the romance genre, it makes a statement about the treatment of women – the ridiculous rules that once applied to female war correspondents and the rape of civilian women in battle. Natasha Lester alternates between this historical content and its darker themes, and a mysterious contemporary side plot that will keep readers guessing. – Sunday TimesWith a sweeping narrative and stacks of romance, this is historical fiction at its best.’ Who Weekly
