The Double Life of Eleanor Kendall (2008)

In the wake of a turbulent divorce from her affluent husband, Jack Givens, Eleanor Givens, affectionately known as Nellie, finds herself embroiled in a storm of personal adversity. Despite the lingering affection between them, Jack's decision leaves Nellie grappling with a distant hope of reconciliation. As if navigating the tumultuous waters of divorce wasn't enough, Nellie is blindsided when she learns of her ruined credit rating, the result of an audacious identity theft. The thief, a cunning imposter, has adopted her birth name, Eleanor Kendall, and embarked on a spending spree in the vibrant city of Montréal. With the police uninterested due to the seemingly small amount of the theft, Nellie finds an unlikely ally in her long-time friend and financial advisor, Dave McGuire. Undaunted, she resolves to venture to Montréal to reclaim her life, despite the uncertainty of what she might encounter. With Dave's assistance, Nellie traces the imposter's credit card transactions and uncovers a potential property purchase in Corsica. The bustling city of Montréal brings more than just a trail of deception; it introduces Nellie to the charming British doctor Christopher Dolan. Their paths cross at a quaint B&B, where Christopher is staying for a conference. As their friendship evolves into a romantic entanglement, Nellie finds in him a confidante, sharing her mission to unmask the imposter Eleanor Kendall. When Nellie finally stumbles upon the counterfeit Eleanor - a local French tutor and single mother - she is drawn into the woman's life rather than immediately turning to the police. As Nellie delves deeper into the imposter's world, she forms an unexpected bond with both Eleanor and her young daughter, Sarah. However, the complexities and dangers lurking beneath the surface are far more perilous than Nellie could have ever anticipated. In the midst of her quest for truth, Nellie's journey becomes as much about self-discovery as it is about justice. Through her blossoming romance and her unraveling of Eleanor's double life, Nellie finds not only the strength to confront her own past but also the courage to redefine herself. As the threads of deception, danger, and romance intertwine, Nellie's stay in Montréal becomes a life-altering experience that transcends her initial pursuit of retribution.
