2 w. ago Paris’s rewilded railway line: the disused track turned into a green space for wildlife and walkers

I’m left alone and in near total silence as I look along the train tracks that disappear in either direction.

Her name was Belle Elmore, and in Rubenhold’s book she is brought back to life.Rubenhold and I are in a cafe in Muswell Hill, north London, a 10 minute walk from where Elmore is buried, and where the 53-year-old author lives with her barrister husband, Frank.
