Paris Never Leaves You by Ellen Feldman
4.0
4.25 stars
Author Ellen Feldman’s impressive Paris Never Leaves You is a different type of WWII story. Set in both 1944 and 1954, we learn of Charlotte and her young daughter Vivi’s life during the war in Paris and ten years later when they are safely living in New York City. We know from the beginning of the book that Charlotte and her daughter survive the war but can Charlotte fully escape her secrets and guilt as her daughter starts asking questions about her heritage? This compelling story about survival and love shows that war is complex and not as simple as good versus evil. I recommend this book and I’m very appreciative to St. Martin’s Griffin, NetGalley and Edelweiss for the advance copy.
