Until Leaves Fall in Paris by Sarah Sundin
5.0
Stunning!
Lucie and Paul's love story enchanted me. It was the sweetest, most wholesome romance - partly due to Paul's adorable daughter and her innocent matchmaking. If I was willing to write in this book there would probably be a bunch of hearts everywhere.
But the romance isn't the only thing that had me holding my breath. The subtle crescendo of suspense kept me rooting for the characters and sent adrenaline rippling through me.
It took me a while to understand the significance of the title but then the motif of leaves started to come through and saw the importance of the two and how they were connected. The themes and symbols really brought depth to it.
And, as Sarah always does, the history is clearly well-researched. I love the immersive feeling I get when an author has done their research and Sarah does this sooooooo well.
I'll admit that at first I wasn't sure how I felt about the book because - in part because of its setting, which is Paris rather than the US - it has a different tone than Sarah's previous books. But by the time I finished I knew Sarah hadn't let me down. Her talent and her voice still shines through.
My only qualm has to do with the cover. Where is the green?! I need to see more green! I mean, Lucie should at least be wearing green.
Only those of you who have read the book will know what I'm talking about. If you don't know what I'm referring to, maybe you should read the book and find out. You will not be disappointed. This is truly another masterpiece. Thanks @sarahsundinauthor for educating and entertaining with your God-given talent.
