The Last Time I Saw Paris

De: Lynn Sheene

Narrado por: Susan Bennett

A stunning debut novel of a young American woman who becomes a spy in Paris during World War II.

May 1940: Fleeing a glamorous Manhattan life built on lies, Claire Harris arrives in Paris with a romantic vision of starting anew. But she didn't anticipate the sight of Nazi soldiers marching under the Arc de Triomphe. Her plans smashed by the German occupation, the once-privileged socialite's only option is to take a job in a flower shop under the tutelage of a sophisticated Parisian florist.

In exchange for false identity papers, Claire agrees to aid the French Resistance. Despite the ever-present danger, she comes to love the enduring beauty of the City of Light, exploring it in the company of Thomas Grey, a mysterious Englishman working with the Resistance. Claire's bravery and intelligence make her a talented operative, and slowly her values shift as she witnesses the courageous spirit of the Parisians.

But deception and betrayal force her to flee once more - this time to fight for the man she loves and what she knows is right. Claire just prays she has the heart and determination to survive long enough to one day see Paris again....

Great Story

Good writing and narration. Kept my interest. The suspense was quite adequate... ... ...

Good but not a great book

having Saïd that ...a wonderful debut novel...this author will get better with time. I know too much about France the French their history and Paris to have been totally taken in ... and of course the false french accents were jarring to MY nerves...but don't be put off by my very personal critique. you will enjoy this book I'm sure.

Engaging, hold your breath

Narrated beautifully. We were taken on the journey of war, fear and friendships. Ah Paris, this was not the way one pictures Paris. This was hardship and so well done. I’m waiting for part 2. Highly recommend this journey into yesterday
