Description

"A fast-paced and vibrant wartime tale of holding on to love against the odds and learning to fight for the truth." ­­–Kristin Harmel, New York Times bestselling author of The Paris Daughter

A Parisian department store, a mysterious necklace and a woman’s quest to unlock a decade-old mystery are at the center of this riveting novel of love and survival, from New York Times bestselling author Pam Jenoff

London, 1953. Louise is still adjusting to her postwar role as a housewife when she discovers a necklace in a box at a secondhand shop. The box is marked with the name of a department store in Paris, and she is certain she has seen the necklace before worked with the Red Cross in Nazi-occupied Europe —and that it holds the key to the mysterious death of her friend Franny during the war. 
 
Following the trail of clues to Paris, Louise seeks help from her former boss Ian, with whom she shares a romantic history.  The necklace leads them to discover the dark history of Lévitan—a once-glamorous department store that served as a Nazi prison, and Helaine, a woman who was imprisoned there, torn apart from her husband when the Germans invaded France.
 
Louise races to find the connection between the necklace, the department store and Franny’s death. But nothing is as it seems, and there are forces determined to keep the truth buried forever. Inspired by the true story of Lévitan, Last Twilight in Paris is both a gripping mystery and an unforgettable story about sacrifice, resistance and the power of love to transcend in even the darkest hours.

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

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!
