This book is so amazing. It is a light hearted romance, which had me laughing in several places. This story follows a young woman who has lost her job and moves to a property she has inherited to get it ready to sell. No matter what she thinks she has planned, life has something else planned for her. I felt as if I were actually in France right along with the characters. I seriously loved this book and think that I have found a new author to love.
This book sealed the deal for me. Fiona Vaply is one of my new favorite authors. This book is so heartbreakingly amazing. It takes place in two time frames, current day and during World War II. Harriet finds a photograph of her grandmother and travels to Paris to work an internship. During her time she finds out what happened to her grandmother during her time in Paris and the role she played in the resistance.
I think that this book resonates in a way that is different from so many others because it is from two time periods and you can see the correlation between the girls, even though their stories take place 75 years apart.
There really are no words to express how great this book is and how it truly opened my eyes to what went on in France during World War II. I highly recommend this book to everyone. If you read it, let me know what you think.
I could not put this book down. I am a sucker for a romance novel and one that has a good backstory gets me every time. The story starts out with the main characters life falling apart and follows her as she finds out who she is really is. I want to read this book all over again. It is definitely going on my top 20 list. (I have a long list of favorite books)
I started off not liking this book but the more I read, the more I came to enjoy it. It definitely didn’t follow the path that I though it would, which was a nice surprise. The more I think about it, the more I remembered how much I loved it. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes a love story that has a number of twists in it.
The second book in a series about two detectives, this book was not bad. It will say that I prefer to read books about places that I have been, so I can get a better feel for the setting. That said, I did enjoy this book and think that if you like mysteries, especially shorter ones that are not as dark as some can get, this book is for you.
This book was a part of a book club that I was invited to. I didn’t join, but I did read the book. This book is in a series that follows two detectives. As you can guess, a member of a book club was murdered. The main suspects are the other members. It was an ok read, I normally prefer a mystery that has more depth in the back story. If you are new to mystery’s or want an easier read, I would recommend this one as a starting point.
