Thank you to Grand Central, Forever, NetGalley, and Kelly Bowen for the gifted copy of this book! All opinions in this review are my own.
In The Paris Apartment, three women's lives are woven together. In 2017, Lia is left a small painting of a house and an abandoned apartment when her grandmother passes away. When Lia first steps inside, she finds a stack of Nazi magazines and piles of famous artwork. Lia doesn't want to believe that her grandmother was a Nazi sympathizer, but she needs to uncover the truth behind this apartment and the artwork inside.
The other two women's stories are set in the 1940s. Estelle and Sophie are motivated to do anything they can to fight back against the Nazis when they takeover their homes.
I loved this book! I know there are so many historical fiction books set during World War II, but this one is phenomenal! The Paris Apartment beautifully weaves these three women's stories together which culminates in a heart-wrenching scene at the end. The modern day storyline added mystery to a historical fiction novel and I loved how they were able to all connect in the end.
If you are a fan of historical fiction, I highly encourage you to pick this one up!
