Description

An atmospheric blend of historical fiction and psychological suspense set against the turmoil of the French Revolution, The Woman in the Wallpaper is Kristin Hannah’s The Nightingale meets the historical thriller bestseller The Frozen River. When Sofi and Lara, two sisters uprooted by their father’s death, begin work at the famed Toile de Jouy wallpaper factory, they notice something chilling: a recurring figure in the wallpaper—a woman whose tragic history may now be repeating itself.

After leaving their family home in Marseilles, Sofi and Lara settle in a quiet village near Paris. But life at the factory is far from peaceful. At the heart of the wallpaper’s idyllic vignettes is the haunting image of Madame Justine, the factory owner’s late wife, whose untimely and suspicious death still casts a shadow. As Lara finds herself drawn to Josef Oberst, the enigmatic son of the factory owner, unsettling parallels emerge between her life and the tragic events depicted in the wallpaper. Dreams turn dark, suspicion deepens, and Lara begins to fear that her fate may be inextricably tied to the ill-fated Justine.

Perfect for fans of Kate Quinn and Ariel Lawhon books, and the intricate storytelling of All the Colors of the Dark, The Woman in the Wallpaper immerses readers in French history while unraveling a chilling psychological puzzle. With vivid depictions of the French Revolution's chaos and an eerie, original premise, this novel masterfully explores paranoia, destiny, and the unseen threads connecting past and present.
