Fascinating Story Set in WWII -- Until Leaves Fall in Paris

Until Leaves Fall in Paris is the latest novel from Sarah Sundin, who just happens to be one of the best with WWII historical fiction. Her in-depth research and resulting knowledge, along with her incredible skill at crafting captivating stories, draw you into a complex world of danger, intrigue, and romance. 

Lucie and Paul are both fascinating characters who live very dissimilar lives. The author weaves their differences -- and their similarities -- into a well-paced story that is engaging from beginning to end. Young Josie and her imagination that thrives with Lucie's encouragement bring a heart-warming element to a story filled with many examples of life's harshness. 

I highly recommend Until Leaves Fall in Paris to fans of great inspirational historical romance.

Thanks to Revell Reads for providing a copy of the book. I am happy to share my own thoughts in this review.

About the Book

Paris, 1940

When the Nazis march toward Paris, American ballerina Lucie Girard buys her favorite English-language bookstore to allow the Jewish owners to escape. The Germans make it difficult for her to keep Green Leaf Books afloat. And she must keep the store open if she is to continue aiding the resistance by passing secret messages between the pages of her books.

Widower Paul Aubrey wants nothing more than to return to the States with his little girl, but the US Army convinces him to keep his factory running and obtain military information from his German customers. As the war rages on, Paul offers his own resistance by sabotaging his product and hiding British airmen in his factory. But in order to carry out his mission, he must appear to support the occupation--which does not win him any sympathy when he meets Lucie in the bookstore.

In a world turned upside down, will love or duty prevail?
