The Velvet Hours by Alyson Richman

3.0

I did enjoy this book. The time period was lovely as was the location of Paris. The author did a nice job of bring to life the scenes of Paris as well as the war. Although, I found myself mainly focused on Marthe and her story. While, I did like Solange and learning the connection between Marthe and the present, I just felt a strong connection to Marthe and her experiences. I would say that this was the case for about two thirds of the book. The last third of the story did shift and more focus was on Solange, which gave her a chance to shine more and have a louder voice. Overall, this book is an enjoyable read. Fans of this time period will like this book.
