While Paris Slept by Ruth Druart

5.0

beautiful book that was out of my comfort zone as it took place during WWII (historical fiction)

i loved seeing the small sentences in French. i grew attached to the characters and truly wanted them to be happy

i enjoyed the transition from first person to third person pov and from 1944 to 1953 as it truly contributed to the story

4,5/5

PS : honorable mention to the “Poem for an Adopted Child” at the end of the book, it perfectly describes what it’s like to love someone whose blood isn’t the same as yours.
