Summary

As the Nazis march toward Paris in 1940, American ballerina Lucie Girard buys her favorite English-language bookstore to allow the Jewish owners to escape. Lucie struggles to run Green Leaf Books due to oppressive German laws and harsh conditions, but she finds a way to aid the resistance by passing secret messages between the pages of her books.

Widower Paul Aubrey wants nothing more than to return to the States with his little girl, but the US Army convinces him to keep his factory running and obtain military information from his German customers. As the war rages on, Paul offers his own resistance by sabotaging his product and hiding British airmen in his factory. After they meet in the bookstore, Paul and Lucie are drawn to each other, but she rejects him when she discovers he sells to the Germans. And for Paul to win her trust would mean betraying his mission.

Master of WWII-era fiction Sarah Sundin invites you onto the streets of occupied Paris to discover whether love or duty will prevail.

Good story, not so good narration, too much religion

The story was a good depiction of life in Paris during WWII, the characters were interesting and compelling. However there was a heavy overtone of religion (I’m Christian, but this story was constantly overbearing on the subject, to the point of annoyance) that I could have done without. Also, the narration was distracting in that the voices of the characters were too similar, and the narrator has an extremely poor French accent. It seems she never actually studied how certain names and words are pronounced. Grated on my nerves.

Horrible narrator

This story was ok, but the narrator was awful. She needs to narrate children’s books rather than anything for adults. Ruined the story

Love this book!

Such a beautiful story. I fell in love with the characters and cannot imagine how much people went through during the war. This story brought life to what so many endured.

Incredible. Didn’t want it to end.

Another amazing story of war torn Europe by Sarah Sundin. Reads like today’s headlines of Ukraine’s invasion. Loved the characters and heart pumping action. Well done!

Another great book from Sarah Sundin

The narrator did a great job with the story. And Sarah Sundin has written another wonderful book that helps to educate the reader about WW 2, appreciate God's gifts in our lives, and interest the readers in the characters she creates.

Sweet Historical WWII Romance

War is such a horrid thing, but these two Americans forge out a beautiful yet lonely life in Paris. When war threatens their friends and themselves, they fight back growing closer to each other as they resist through all means necessary. Their struggle to return to America is the most dramatic and emotional reunion I've ever read!
The narration was absolutely superb!
