In December, 1922, the theft of Ernest Hemingway’s unpublished works from a railway carriage in Paris affects the lives of three men and a woman during the next four decades. War, love, natural disaster, lost treasures, and chance twist their fates along unexpected paths. From Europe to French Polynesia, their fortunes rise and fall, but a common thread runs through their lives and draws them together to the Inn at Argenteuil.
