Hi, I’m Natasha Lester. I’m a full-time, multi-award winning novelist who writes books about women from history who did incredible things, but who’ve been tragically forgotten. More officially, I’m a New York Times bestselling author. My novels include The Disappearance of Astrid Bricard, The Three Lives of Alix St Pierre, The Paris Seamstress and The Paris Orphan. According to The Daily Telegraph, I’m a master storyteller, but I’ll let you be the judge of that!
Who needs some Bijoux?
Once upon a time words had value. They were bijoux - small, delicate and exquisitely worked into love letters and diaries and long-form essays and nuanced profiles and eclectic shopping lists and perceptive observations of the magic of certain moments in our lives.
So that’s what Bijoux aims to be …
Little gems from the (occasionally) sparkling mind of author Natasha Lester. These newsletters are usually similar to personal essays and might cover anything from writing to books to fashion to inspiring women from history to culture to moments of whimsy. Topics you might know I’m passionate about if you’ve read my novels. Things that make me happy. Things that make me mad. But, always - things that make me feel. You can find out more here.
I hope Bijoux will grow into something you look forward to receiving in your inbox – something you can read in a measured, relaxed, curious way rather than in a rushed scroll of continual distraction.
