Until Leaves Fall in Paris by Sarah Sundin
4.0
A cinematic WWII historical fiction book about the love story between an American ballerina turned bookshop owner in 1940s Paris and a widower with an adorable little girl. When his wife dies Paul wants nothing more than to return to America but his army friends convince him to stay and provide intel on his factory outputs. Lucie convinces her Jewish friends to sell their English language bookshop to her so they can afford to escape before Paris is officially drawn into war against the Germans.
I really loved these characters. Paul and Lucie find love amidst the war, each working for the resistance in their own ways. When America finally enters the war, Paris is no longer safe and they try to get out but Paul gets detained and he entrusts Lucie to get his daughter safely home.
Great on audio narrated by Tanya Eby. This book was written by a new to me author and even though it's labelled Christian fiction, with religious aspects sprinkled throughout the story, it didn't detract from my enjoyment in the slightest. Highly recommended for WWII fiction fans!
