Locked in. Locked out. Lovelocked.
The romantic city should work its magic but affixing a lovelock on a bridge backfires disastrously for Marian and Jason, leaving them floundering emotionally and morally. What do you do when decency demands that you do one thing, but your family needs another?
In this literary psychological novel, Marian and Jason come to Paris for Marian's French debut art exhibition, but what should be a triumphant moment in her career coincides with her last desperate attempt to save her marriage.
When Marian and Jason put a lovelock on the Pont des Arts-a symbol to reaffirm their love after Jason's infidelity-they unwittingly set in motion a tragedy that ripples through Paris as right-wing politicians seize a xenophobic opportunity. Marian finds herself locked in a moral quagmire. The impact of their lovelock reaches out to hurt the most unlikely and vulnerable people, leaving the couple lost in competing responsibilities in an event of international significance.
Paris Locked explores how the past becomes a prison. In a city where lovers immortalize their devotion with metal locks on romantic bridges criss-crossing the Seine, Marian must confront how places and actions lock people in-and lock others out-of narratives that frame our lives.
