A review by rmarcin
The Postmistress of Paris by Meg Waite Clayton
4.0
I enjoy reading historical fiction, especially when I learn about someone I had not known about previously. Nanee is modeled on the heiress Mary Jayne Gold who helped smuggle artists and other intellectuals out of France.
In this book, Nanee is a pilot who is working as a postmistress so she can pass information in support of the resistance. She meets and falls in love with Edouard Moss, a widower and Jewish photographer who has escaped the Nazis, but is put in a French internment camp. He gives his daughter Loki to friends to keep her safe. Nanee wants to help them escape.
This is a tale of resistance and love, as well as sacrifice. I am amazed at the courage of those who put their lives on the line to help others escape the regime of the Nazis.
