The Riviera House by Natasha Lester
5.0
This was such a sad, beautiful story and my favorite Natasha Lester novel to date! 5/5⭐️
.
The Riviera House opens in Paris in 1939 with Eliane working in the Louvre, cataloguing some of the most famous works of art housed there. She soon discovers the nefarious plans the Nazis have and where all of the art - stolen from the Jews of Europe - is coming from. She is torn between some terrible secrets and holding a lot of trauma from her past. Present Day: Remy, vintage-clothing dealer and heiress to the Riviera House, discovers her past may just collide in unexpected ways as she works to untangle her own past.
.
Without giving too much away, I found this story fascinating and a new spin on an aspect of World War Two that I was less-familiar with. I was riveted by the two stories and connected deeply with the characters, who were flawed and relatable. I loved this one!
