I love historical fiction and Pam Jenoff is one of the best authors of the genre. “Last Twilight In Paris” is thought-provoking, suspenseful, and a must-read for 2025. Jenoff does a beautiful job of expressing the heartbreak of war, while also showing the resilience of people still trying to hold on to hope and love amidst the horror. Well-developed characters that you can easily connect to and a thrilling plot made this one hard to put down.

Thanks for the opportunity to read in advance!

I will always read a Pam Jenoff book, regardless of subject. I love her writing style, the stories she crafts, and the lasting impression her books make. The Last Twilight in Paris was no different. We very well written novel that explores a different facet of WWII than we usually hear.

In 1953 London, Louise is helping to empty a box for her friend's shop and runs across a necklace she knows are has seen before. It dawns on her are saw it when helping the red cross delivering care packages in Germany and that her friend was killed that night. She's never figured out what happened to her but didn't believe it was just a car accident. Now she's on a mission to figure out the owner of the necklace so she can hopefully figure out what really happened to her friend. A great read!

“Last Twilight in Paris” by Pam Jenoff is an amazing and memorable masterpiece, weaving the events, people and places in history. I am a huge fan of Pam Jenoff, and have read all of her books, which mostly are set in the historical frame of World War Two. Kudos to the author for writing such a heartfelt and thought-provoking story. The author vividly describes the events, the locations, and the dramatic characters. The genres for this story are Historical Fiction, Women’s Fiction, Adult Fiction, and World War Two Historical Fiction with a touch of Romance. The story mostly takes place in Paris and London during and after World War Two.

After World War Two, Louise, who helped deliver packages to prisoners in Nazi-occupied Europe for the Red Cross, is now a housewife with twins and a husband with PTSD from the war. She volunteers and finds half of a locket in a crate. This locket reminds her of one that a friend and singer during the War, had asked Louise to take it out of the camp . Louise was afraid to help this friend because of her fear of the Germans. Her friend had died shortly after that. On the bottom of the crate is the name of a famous Parisian department store. Louise is determined to unravel this mystery. You will be shocked to discover the information about this store.

This is a fast paced novel with danger, espionage, twists and turns, and unexpected revelations. There were a few intense and edgy UH-OH moments. I love how Pam Jenoff discusses the importance of loyalty, survival, communication, sisterhood, love and hope. I highly recommend this as a must to read book for 2025.

Another great read by Pam Jenoff. She always finds an interesting bit of history and creates an intriguing fiction story about the topic/time.

This is the back and forth story of Louise and Helaine. This story switches from 1953 post-war England to the years during the war in Paris. Louise finds a necklace that she recalls seeing during the war and is determined to find out the origins and if it connected the fate of her best friend during the war.

Pam Jenoff is a master storyteller of historical fiction. Every time I read one of her books, I learn so much. I highly recommend this book to anyone but especially readers that enjoy historical fiction.

Thank you to Park Row and NetGalley for the ARC in return for my honest opinion. This is one book you shouldn't miss!

Pam Jenoff is a master at finding forgotten and little talked about pieces of history and crafting stories around them. "Last Twilight in Paris" is her latest entry into her Historical Fiction library. Set in dual timelines of 1940's Paris during WWII and 1953 Post-War England, Jenoff tells the stories of Helaine, a French Jew living in Paris during the German occupation, and Louise, an English woman who spent time as a Red Cross Volunteer in occupied Europe during the war. Helaine finds herself imprisoned by the Nazis in Levitan, a Parisian department store that sells the plundered belongings of European Jews to Germans and the French who collaborated with them. In 1953, Louise finds a locket that looks like one she saw in her time as a volunteer and is determined to find out his provenance. In her search, she discovers the history of Levitan where Helaine was imprisoned.

Jenoff, as always, skillfully weaves together the important moments in history with the stories of her fictional heroines. I thoroughly enjoyed Jenoff's books "Lost Girls of Paris" and "The Girl with the Blue Star". This book was no different. I highly recommend this read to anyone who is a fan of historical and WWII fiction. This book is perfect for fans of Kristin Harmel or Martha Hall Kelly.

Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin for allowing me to ready this book prior to publication.

I like this one . I like most of her novels and this was no exception. Her books are well researched and just overall good additions to this genre . I loved reading about Paris during the war .Overall wonderful book by this author
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for letting me review book

This is my first Jenoff book, I had heard great things about her books before so of course I was really excited going into this one. Unfortunately this wasn’t for me, I DNF around 40-% mark. I love historical fictions but this one was VERY slow moving and I just couldn’t get into the story. So disappointing.

This is a historical fiction journey based on true times.
It is the best!
World War II and the Germans are invading Paris . They are confiscating all the Jewish possessions from the homes and selling them in a place named Levitan. These are people's treasures from many homes.
These people are also held there in this store and made to assist in setting up the goods. It is a Nazi prison!

Louise is a young woman who volunteered with the Red Cross at that time and now years later finds a necklace in thrift shop that she definitely remembers from the war days. Not remembering where she has seen this item she begins

It is in a box marked Levitan.
There are many sad stories from the time in the war including the death of Louise's dear confidant that has never actually been resolved.
Louise makes it her mission to find out who this necklace actually belongs to and what happened to her beloved friend.

This is where the mystery and journey begins to unfold throughout the chapters and World War II.

Pam Jenoff writes in a way that I felt as if I was actually there walking, talking and hiding at times. It is very well done and I encourage everyone to read this novel.
Thank you to @NetGalley and to @Harlequin Trade Publishing/Park Row for this ARC and allowing me to read and provide my own review.

I received an advanced copy of the Last Twilight in Paris from the publisher. A fan of Pam Jenoff, I was excited to read her latest novel. It was very much a Pam Jenoff novel, which made it more of a comfort read than something groundbreaking. I liked the dual narratives and engaging characters. While I could see some of the twists coming, there were other connections that caught me by surprise. I would recommend for any World War II historical fiction fans.

Another gem by Pam Jenoff! Helaine is a Jew in Nazi controlled Paris, newly married to cellist, Gabriel. While he is away she is arrested and kept prisoner in a former furniture store, forced to sort through items stolen from houses as Jews are sent to concentration camps.

Louise is a former red cross worker who visited pow camps during the war. Their connection is a pair of necklaces made up of two halves of a heart - one worn by Helaine and the other kept by Gabriel. He tries to get his half to Helaine after he is arrested, but it never makes it and it ends up in Louise's shop almost 10 years later.

Part Holocaust fiction (which Jenoff excels at), part spy story, and part murder mystery, this book is hard to put down. Jenoff is always an automatic buy for me and this book does not disappoint. It is one of her best!

If you love Historical Fiction than you should read this book. This is one of those WW II books that have not been talked about much and I learned so much.

This is a dual time story where the characters are brought to life. It's a story about strength, endurance and survival.

The Last Twilight of Paris was captivating and i can't wait to buy the physical copy when it's released.

Thank you Harlequin Trade Publishing and Netgalley. All thoughts are my own and isn't influenced by anyone else

In 1944 Paris, Helaine, a Jewish woman, is taken by the Nazi’s. Instead of being sent to the camps, she is taken to a former department store that sells stolen items from Jewish households and sells them to German officers.

In 1953 England, Louise works at a secondhand store and comes across a necklace she remembers seeing in a POW camp in 1944 when she volunteered with the Red Cross. She goes to Paris to find out the story behind the necklace, and to find out what happened to her friend, Franny, who was murdered at one of the POW camps they were visiting.

This was a great book. You get Helaine’s POV, and you also get two timelines for Louise, current day -953, and 1944 with her time at the Red Cross. I thoroughly enjoyed it and definitely recommend it.

Last Twilight in Paris by Pam Jenoff weaves a beautiful story about hardworking people during the Nazi occupation in Paris. I really loved these characters.
The story is a dual timeline with characters that must survive the occupation. In Paris, there is a department store turned into a prison during the Nazi occupation. The
Lévitan was a place where prisoners were sent to arrange stolen goods to sell. The Nazis stole Jewish property right out of their homes once they were forced out. It was once a department store where people walking down the street could purchase furniture and such
But this is a remarkable story of perseverance, hope, treachery and enduring love during one of the darkest times in History. The author's research shows so much detail in this story.
The main characters, Helaine and Louise are strong, resolute, capable women and I loved their story's so much.
I will highly recommend this book. This is historical fiction at its absolute best. I loved learning about this part of the occupation I didn't know anything about.
Thank you to NetGalley and for an advanced readers copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

Jenoff is an auto-buy for me. I look forward to all her books because her books transcend me to the past and part of history which involves parts that are not always easy to talk about, but a must.
This novel takes us on a journey into the past involving a necklace, a department store and a couple who struggled during the war.
Louise is a wife in London. The year is 1953 and she has found a necklace in a shop. There is a name located on the necklace, and she feels she KNOWS who this necklace belongs too. What are the odds? She once worked for the Red Cross in Europe, when it was occupied by the Nazis. She had friend named Fanny at that time who died and Louise is positive there is a connection.
Louise has a former boss Ian, whom can help her solve this mystery. The soon discover the necklace is connected to Levitan, which is a department store, unfortunately this store was a Nazi prison and people worked at this store selling stuff stolen from the Jews.
Unraveling the mystery and clues to find out what happened to Franny lead her on a dangerous journey. She must decide how far she is willing to go to seek the truth.
Another emotional and mesmerizing novel by Jenoff. During one of the darkest times in history, love and sacrifice can bring up through so much.
All historical fiction fans will want this on their shelves. I am off to pre-order because I want a hard copy to re-read and support this author. I discovered that pre-orders are extremely important to authors.

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read Last Twilight in Paris. All I can say is WOW. The dual timeline was easy to follow and the story flowed smoothly. Read on one seating. Recommend.

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book. Pam Jenoff has hit another home run, this book is a great read. I enjoy historical fiction, especially the World War II era, and Pam Jenoff is one of my favorite authors in this genre. This story involves the experiences of two women during the war and the aftermath, Louise is a British citizen who volunteered with the Red Cross during the war delivering packages in Germany, she tries to help a fellow volunteer and the results are traumatic, it is now 1953, she is married with two children working in a secondhand shop when she comes across a necklace that brings all the trauma back to her and she starts a search for answers. The other woman, Helaine is a young Jewish woman who is captured during the war and held in a Nazi camp in a department store in Paris, she is the owner of half of the necklace that this story focuses on. This book had a lot going for it, historical aspects of a Nazi camp in a department store, the romance between Helaine and Gabriel, Louse’s relationship with her husband Joe, who had his own issues serving in the war, plus a mystery story about the necklace.. I would highly recommend this book, it was a very interesting, insightful, inspirational story.

I received an early ecopy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Ms. Jenoff has given us another riveting novel. This time we learn about Levitan, a former department store in Paris, which was used as a holding camp for privileged Jews during WWII. Throughout the story we switch between two character, Louise who is in London in 1953 and Helaine who is in Paris in 1943. Louise has worked with the American Red Cross and delivered care packages to soldiers during the war. During her time doing deliveries her friend Franny, an actress performing for the troops, is killed. They are told Franny was hit by a car but Louise believes something else happened to her and is plagued by this years later. In 1953 Louise discovers a necklace she thinks she remembers seeing during the war and goes on a search to discover its story and try and return it to its true owner. Throughout the story we also meet Helaine, a Jew living in Paris, who ultimately ends up living in Levitan for a time and has connections to the necklace Louise has. Read this great story to find out about Louise's relationship with Franny, her search for answers about the necklace and Levitan and Helaine's story of her life before and during the war living in Paris. Pick this one up for great historical fiction read in February 2025.
