Lily Graham grew up in South Africa and is a former journalist.

As a child she dreamt of being an author, and had half-finished manuscripts bulging out of her desk drawers, but it wasn't until she reached her thirties that she finally finished one of them. Her first books were written for children, but when her mother was diagnosed with cancer she wrote a story to deal with the fear and pain she was going through - this became her first women's fiction novel, which was published by Bookouture (Hachette) in 2016.

THE LAST RESTAURANT IN PARIS

I am delighted to tell you about my latest novel, The Last Restaurant in Paris. Featuring a restaurant full of secrets, a long-lost grandmother, and a very dark legacy.

It began with the idea of inheritance. Some people might wish that a long lost relative has left them something of value. But what if what you inherit isn’t … wonderful?

What if your inheritance is a moment in history that can never

“Living on the water took away the boundaries created by land and custom and introversion. Without fences and driveways, the water provided a constant thread of connection and dependency.”

“the reasons behind it, would take a lifetime to process. It was easy to say now, when one wasn’t at war and not subjected to its power to test you on every level, to put your will for survival above your ideals, what you would have done.”

Lily’s Quotes

“Death is not something you get over. It’s the rip that exposes life in a before and after chasm, and all you can do is try to exist as best you can in the after.”

“All we can do now is hope.’
I nodded, fighting back the tears. Tired of that word that asked so much, and gave so little in return.”

“If love were enough, I’d tell St Peter to close his gates; I’d block out the stars, and cover the moon with a fist. I’d find a place where time stands still, where no world would exist, except one where we could stand together arm in arm. Except, my darling, here’s the secret you should know: where you are, so am I. No there exists or here. No place exists where I would not come when you need me, for you will always exist in a place where my love is without end.”
― Lily Graham, The Postcard
