Mny thanks to NetGalley and Avon for the opportunity to read an advance copy of Daisy Wood's The Forgotten Bookshop in Paris.

Lovely! The dual timeline is meticulously done and works beautifully in drawing the reader into the lives of the book's characters.

Highly recommended.

Oh my!!!!!!!!One of those books you can’t put down and when you have to you are thinking about it. Set in France between present day and world war 2. There were some very sad parts . Some beautiful love stories. Gosh you hated the cruelty to the Jews . The book was set in Paris. Told between an American woman and a french book seller. The ending was bitter sweet. A must must read. The record the book seller kept was amazing .

This book did not work on my ereader - it froze the ereader and did not load. Therefore I was unable to read it. Please contact me if a new version of this book is released so I can read it.

The Forgotten Bookshop in Paris by Daisy Wood perfectly exceeded all of my expectations for a book in the Historical Fiction category. The level of detail to researching and portraying the characters in their perspective time periods was top notch. I loved the connections between the generations. This book did not disappoint!

"The Forgotten Bookshop in Paris" is a classic dual time-line novel, set during the war and the current day. The main protagonist is Juliette, an American mother to grown-up twins, who is on holiday in Paris with her husband of 25 years. What was planned as a romantic break turns out quite differently as Juliette longs to immerse herself in local life whist her husband favours anonymous 5 star hotels and fancy restaurants.

The novel is about finding out the truth about the past but also choosing a worthwhile future. It is only at the very end of the story that we discover the true identity of Juliette's French-born grandmother. This is a superior novel of it's genre, with some great characters and plot-lines. Recommended.

Thanks to Net Galley and the publishers for the opportunity to review this book.

For years, Juliette has dreamed of seeing Paris with her husband, but they haven’t been there long when she realizes that the most romantic city in the world only serves to show how distant she and her husband have become from each other. When Juliette stumbles across an old bookshop for sale, she feels like her life has finally fallen into place. As Juliette begins to make the shop her own, she discovers its secrets and the story of how one man, in the midst of the Nazi occupation, made the decision to risk everything, his beloved shop and his very life, to save a woman and child. This story had me in tears, sometimes it’s hard to see the good in the world. but Wood reminds us it’s there, even during history’s darkest moments

Beautiful historical read bouncing back between two generations .Highly recommend. Full review to follow. Would make a beautiful movie. Loved the characters and story arc.
