"Indian American, Muslim and French, Khayyam is a girl who exists in the liminal space between identities. She’s also obsessed with art history. On a visit to Le Petit Palais museum in Paris, she meets the charming descendant of writer Alexandre Dumas. Together, they investigate the connection between his ancestor and the painter Eugène Delacroix and search for the woman who may have inspired them both. Lively and passionate, this book tackles issues of cultural identity and examines which stories are passed down through time – all while indulging in a romantic amateur sleuthing romp through the City of Lights."
