In February 1887, Caitriona Wallace and Emile Nouguier meet in a hot air balloon, floating high above Paris - a moment of pure possibility. But back on firm ground, their vastly different social strata become clear. Cait is a widow who because of her precarious financial situation is forced to chaperone two wealthy Scottish charges. Emile is expected to take on the bourgeois stability of his family's business and choose a suitable wife. As the Eiffel Tower rises, a marvel of steel and air and light, the subject of extreme controversy and a symbol of the future, Cait and Emile must decide what their love is worth. Seamlessly weaving historical detail and vivid invention, Beatrice Colin evokes the revolutionary time in which Cait and Emile live - one of corsets and secret trysts, duels and Bohemian independence, strict tradition and Impressionist experimentation. To Capture What We Cannot Keep, stylish, provocative, and shimmering, raises probing questions about a woman's place in that world, the overarching reach of class distinctions, and the sacrifices love requires of us all.

Zustand: Muy bueno. : Ambientada en la construcción de la Torre Eiffel, esta novela narra la relación entre una joven viuda escocesa y un ingeniero francés que, a pesar de las limitaciones de clase y riqueza, se enamoran. En febrero de 1887, Caitriona Wallace y Émile Nouguier se conocen en un globo aerostático, flotando en lo alto de París, Francia, un momento de pura posibilidad. Pero de vuelta en tierra firme, sus estratos sociales tan diferentes se hacen evidentes. Cait es una viuda que, debido a su precaria situación financiera, se ve obligada a acompañar a dos ricas pupilas escocesas. Se espera que Émile asuma la estabilidad burguesa del negocio de su familia y elija una esposa adecuada. A medida que se levanta la Torre Eiffel, una maravilla de acero, aire y luz, objeto de extrema controversia y símbolo del futuro, Cait y Émile deben decidir cuánto vale su amor. Entrelazando a la perfección detalles históricos e invenciones vívidas, Beatrice Colin evoca la época revolucionaria en la que viven Cait y Émile: una época de corsés y citas secretas, duelos e independencia bohemia, tradición estricta y experimentación impresionista. To Capture What We Cannot Keep, elegante, provocadora y brillante, plantea preguntas profundas sobre el lugar de la mujer en ese mundo, el alcance general de las distinciones de clase y los sacrificios que el amor exige de todos nosotros.
