Join us to hear Bea discuss her latest
moving and memorable novel, To Capture
What We Cannot Keep. Set against the
construction of the Eiffel Tower, this novel
charts the relationship between a young
widow and an engineer who, despite
constraints of class and wealth, fall in love
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.

up in Scotland and lives in Glasgow. She is a
novelist and radio dramatist and has written
seven novels and numerous plays for BBC
Radio.
“A must-read for every fan of Paris, for every
fan of the fight for love against the odds, and
for every fan of great and deeply satisfying
storytelling.” --David Gillham, bestselling
author of CITY OF WOMEN
