I am so thankful to have received an early copy of Pam Janoff’s new novel, Twilight in Paris. It is an historical fiction book that takes place during World War II and follows the path of two amazing women, Helaine and Louise.

Louise, in the 1950’s, discovers a necklace at her place of work, a thrift shop in a suburb of London. She believes she has seen it before, during the war when she worked for the Red Cross. She is determined to get to the bottom of this mystery and find the rightful owner.

Helaine, a young Jewish woman, during the late 1930’s, falls in love with a musician in Paris. They are in the midst of the Nazi occupation, and she ends up being placed at the Levitan Department Store. I had never heard of this store, where prisoners sort through the stolen goods of the people of Paris.

I loved the dual POV and learned so much about a new aspect of WWII that I hadn’t known. Janoff helps us immerse in the lives of these two women and it gives all the feels. It blends romance, mystery and suspense against the background of a war that never fails to create high emotions in the reader.

I used the highlight feature on my Kindle more than ever while reading this book. I remember reading The Diary of Anne Frank as a kid and having a similar experience of being transported to a time I could not really make sense of but I could feel how important it was to be aware of it as a human.

I must share that this book describes motherhood in a way that only a mother with grown children can. I felt so seen and so understood in one sentence.

Pam Jenoff is Historical Fiction royalty! Her books are always amazing and The Last Twilight in Paris is no exception. I learned about a part of history during WWII that I wasn't aware of, while experiencing the situation right along with the characters. I felt transported into the world of Helaine and Louise and I am still thinking about them long after finishing the book. In London in1953 Louise finds a necklace in a box from a second hand store after the war and she knows she has seen this necklace before. Her journey to uncovering the truth about the necklace is filled with obstacles including a past love while she struggles to balance her responsibilities in her home to her husband and kids. In Paris, Helaine is torn from her husband in 1943 and sent to work at a labor camp in a department store called the Lévitan. I felt for all she and the others endured in that department store but I'm thankful that hope and love are also a part of this book.
Jennoff's research and writing made me feel connected to the characters and I wanted to keep reading to learn more about the necklace and the challenges during and after the war. This book is a must read for fans of Historical Fiction. You will be rooting for the characters as this fast paced book takes you on an incredible and historical journey through London and Paris.
Thank you to Netgalley and HTP books for the opportunity to read this fantastic and memorable book!

The Last Twilight in Paris is a beautifully written story that sheds light on a lesser known part of WWII history that is both fascinating and heartbreaking. It seems unbelievable yet unsurprising that a department store was turned into a labor camp for Jews. Through the eyes of two women facing the war from different perspectives, we discover the resilience of Jews and the people fighting to survive in occupied France and those striving to make an impact on the war. I found myself invested in Louise and Helaine's stories and the fates of those around them. Love, in its many forms, is evident throughout the book as our heroines find strength in friendships, familial and true love. This book was incredibly insightful, educational and touching.

Another amazing read where you fell in love with the characters and just felt the emotions of everything within this story! Love these two women and all they did for and after the war. Louise had her own share of what she saw during the war, but when she finds a discarded necklace she knows she must find out who it belongs to. Something from her past is tied to this piece and it may also hold the key to a long unknown mystery. Helaine is a newly wed and enjoying this new life of freedom from her parents, but she has no idea just how fast that freedom will be taken away with war at the doorstep of France. I especially loved the necklace storyline and I had no idea that they had used a department store as a camp of sorts. Another deeply written historical fiction with pieces of history that were once lost. Thank you to The Hive and Netgalley for the complementary ebook. This review is of my own opinion and accord.

Historical fiction at its finest! Last Twilight In Paris was impossible to put down, impeccably researched, and one of the most engaging books I’ve read this year. I love books that not only entertain you, but also educate you, and Last Twilight In Paris did just that. Historical fiction is my favorite genre, and I mostly read books set during WWII, but I have never read anything about Lévitan. Jenoff did a phenomenal job weaving two timelines together to tell such a heartbreaking, yet hopeful story of two women, connected by one necklace.

I absolutely loved how this book was told in alternating POV from both Helaine and Louise. It’s the type of book that will keep you guessing until the very end, with twists that you do not see coming. I truly loved the amount of research the author put into this book and I loved how I learned about an area I knew nothing about before reading this book. This is a must read for anyone who loves historical fiction. This book will be on my mind for a very long time and one I will be recommending to everyone! Rich in historical detail, Last Twilight In Paris is a fascinating read!

Amazing Read! Unforgettable Read!
Last Twilight in Paris is about a parisian department store, the mysterious necklace and a woman's quest to unlock a decades-old mystery. This novel is one that is so exciting but also a page turner from beginning to end. The author was new to me and I am looking forward to reading more of this author's books. It was written so beautifully but it also had an engaging plot with great character development. I loved all of the characters in this but I especially loved Louise and seeing how she solves a decade old mystery. The book is one full of hope, heart, betrayal, love and so much more. I will be thinking of this unforgettable read for awhile. I loved this book and would recommend it to any reader but this is a must read if you love historical fiction. Thank you to NetGalley and publisher for this advanced read in exchange of my honest review of Last Twilight in Paris by Pam Jenoff.

An unforgettable story of tragedy and perseverance during one of history’s most devastating wars. Jenoff takes us on a journey of discovery and truth following two women navigating war time. One is Jewish and is arrested in Paris, while the other volunteered with the Red Cross and is looking for answers post war. A tale of love, loss, hope, and survival. I highly recommend not only for fans of historical fiction but anyone who loves when a story comes to life.

Last Twilight in Paris was another good read by Pam Jenoff! The way she blends her stories and touches on topics that not many people have heard of from history and creates a heart clenching read is wonderful and creates a great read! The story has great character development and is told from both women's points of views so you can really get a good read on both characters and get completely immersed in their lives! Is a fast paced story full of heart, hope, twists and turns, betrayal and love that will have you hooked from the first page and stay with you long after the last!

Thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing | Park Row for the opportunity to read Last Twilight in Paris by Pam Jenoff. This is a beautiful, respectfully written story about a little known piece of horrendous Nazi history which took place in the middle of Paris. Heartbreaking, but hopeful.

This is another great book meticulously researched by a very talented author. Pam Jenoff always writes a unique story that grabs your attention while teaching us another aspect of World War II. She carefully blends a mystery with love and honor as she highlights the atrocities and suffering of so many people. Good character development by the two women who narrate the story, one living through the war and the other shortly thereafter. I thought both storylines were engaging. The war takes a toll on all including Louise’s husband Joe and their marriage but as they struggle they develop a deeper understanding of each other. Gabriel and Helaine’s story also held my interest as she was forced to be imprisoned and work in a former department store that now sold confiscated items from the Jews to be sold to the Germans. The romance that she incorporates into the novel makes it easier to digest all the horrors endured. #LastTwilightInParis #PamJenoff #NetGalley
