By now I think you all know that I'm a big Kristin Harmel fan. Like any author, I've liked some more than others, but they are all very good. Her latest, The Paris Daughter, is right up there among her best. It initially takes place in Paris in the late '30s and early '40s. Since it's historical fiction, the actual events depicted in the book are real. And it's always interesting to see her different storylines about Paris during WWII.
The Paris Daughter focuses on a couple that own a bookstore and have 3 children and the wife of an artist who has 1 daughter. There is also a 3rd protagonist who is Jewish and has 2 children. How they all interact and the things they do during the German occupation will keep you riveted. It's always a treat to learn from Kristin's books, even when some of the events are hard to read...and you WILL read them.
If you haven't picked this one up yet, get it! And if you haven't read Kristin Harmel yet, what are you waiting for? If you are in the latter group, I would start with The Sweetness of Forgetting. Even though all of Kristin's books are terrific, TWoF is one of my all-time favorite books.
