This story was as gorgeous as its cover.  Dual timelines, multiple POVs, historical, Paris, this novel had so many things I love in a good read and this was a great read.

 

This story was as gorgeous as the cover! Dual timelines, multiple POVs, historical, Paris, this novel had more than a few of my favorite things. Present day, Lia inherits a Paris apartment from her Grandmother, Estelle. The apartment is a time capsule of Estelle's life 75 years ago during Nazi-occupied France. The apartment contains beautiful gowns and beautiful art that Lia fears may have been stolen. As Lia, with the help of a (handsome!) art appraiser works to get to the bottom of the art, the reader gets the story of Estelle's life during WWII. 

Beautifully written, I could not put this book down. If you love historical fiction, I highly recommend this book.
