The Last Restaurant in Paris by Lily Graham
3.0
Thank you so much to NetGalley, Bookouture and Lily Graham for my very first ARC. So so grateful for the opportunity,
The Last Restaurant in Paris is a historical fiction about WW2. It's about Marianne and a restaurant she opened during the occupation in France, Paris. One night something terrible happens and she has to flee, Years later her granddaughter Sabine finds out about the restaurant and the tragic incident that happened there. After her discovery, Sabine really wants to find out what exactly happened back then.
This was my first book from Lily Graham and will definitely not be my last. The story itself is split into three parts (Introduction, Marianne's backstory, the incident). There are also different timelines during the whole book. It switches between the present (1980s) and the past (1940s). It was a bit slow going in the beginning for me but once I passed the 20 % mark I couldn't put it down. For me it was a very good mix of mystery and history. It was a heartbreaking story that brought me to tears. I highly recommend this book if you like historical fiction especially WW2 stories.
