bookish_bethany 's review for:
The Paris Apartment
by Kelly Bowen
Pre-bookstagram, I largely read thrillers, historical fiction, and a smattering of non-fiction books. [However, I am now super thankful to Booksta for opening my mind and shelves to a wider variety of stories and genres.] With that, a few years ago, I think I went through a m a j o r historical fiction binge, and kind of burnt myself out on the genre. However, I think I am finally back after finishing THE PARIS APARTMENT by Kelly Bowen in just two days - which is wild for a 400+ page book!
THE PARIS APARTMENT is told by multiple narrators, in two different timelines. Lia suddenly inherits a mysterious apartment in Paris from her late grandmother and, when she finally gets a chance to visit it, discovers it is full of rare art and some Nazi propaganda. Fearful that her grandmother was stealing art and served as a Nazi collaborator, she hires an art restorer to clean and identify the pieces, and determine if they were stolen during the war. However, what they uncover is a story of patriotism, loyalty to family and friends, and bravery from women during WWII.
This book has it all: a love story; fast-paced action and intrigue; heart-breaking moments; and a mystery you are racing to solve. And, it definitely left me drowning in ugly tears on my couch.
THE PARIS APARTMENT is out on April 20, so you still have time to pre-order or request your library purchase this book! And thank you so much to @netgalley and @readforeverpub for the eARC to read, cry over, and review.
