With stunning architecture and the first trains to be powered by electricity, the station welcomed the world.

It was as beautiful as it was important. Until it was not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eParis expanded and soon outgrew the station. The crowds moved elsewhere, and the clock was abandoned. But memories are strong, and a love of beauty remains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this poignant account of the transformation of a Paris train station into the world-class Musée d'Orsay (Orsay Museum), Pam Fong invites readers to experience the decades-long journey of a resilient clock, and to discover a lasting truth—there is always time for second chances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47521603420396,"sku":"9781454955009","price":34.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/d500025b87cc5fe06142f32445af1516.jpg?v=1776126483","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/the-clock-by-pam-fong-9781454955009","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
