About this listen

"A quick read that history lovers will easily devour" (Teen Vogue)

"Get ready to be transported to Paris in Taylor's incredible debut novel." (Seventeen, Editor's Choice)

Code Name Verity meets Jennifer Donnelly's Revolution in this gripping debut novel.

Now:

Sixteen-year-old Alice is spending the summer in Paris, but she isn't there for pastries and walks along the Seine. When her grandmother passed away two months ago, she left Alice an apartment in France that no one knew existed. An apartment that has been locked for more than 70 years.

Alice is determined to find out why the apartment was abandoned and why her grandmother never once mentioned the family she left behind when she moved to America after World War II. With the help of Paul, a charming Parisian student, she sets out to uncover the truth. However, the more time she spends digging through the mysteries of the past, the more she realizes there are secrets in the present that her family is still refusing to talk about.

Then:

Sixteen-year-old Adalyn doesn't recognize Paris anymore. Everywhere she looks, there are Nazis, and every day brings a new horror of life under the Occupation. When she meets Luc, the dashing and enigmatic leader of a resistance group, Adalyn feels she finally has a chance to fight back.

But keeping up the appearance of being a much-admired socialite while working to undermine the Nazis is more complicated than she could have imagined. As the war goes on, Adalyn finds herself having to make more and more compromises - to her safety, to her reputation, and to her relationships with the people she loves the most.

This is the second WWII Paris historical fiction novel I've read recently. If you enjoyed The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah, you'll appreciate this one. It's YA so it's not as intense, but it has a great plot, wonderful characters, and the narrators of the audiobooks are superb.

During #mentalhealthawarenssmonth, reading about Alice's mom's struggle with depression is right on topic. A quick read that history lovers will easily devour.

This was a very moving story. I was amazed by the courage and determination of the the individuals who joined the resistance. I also liked Alic’s determination in uncovering her family’s history.

Great story line of a family tracing their families history during the war. I wonder how many other families have no idea what heroes they are related too.

I have met and spoken with some who were the young people involved in the Resistance. This story captures it so well and puts a face to it. Excellent.

I was expecting something different but so glad it was the story it is

I loved everything about this book, from the storylines to the performance! My favorite part was hearing about Adalyn's story and all that she did during the war. Going into this book I didn't know much about German-occupied France, so it was amazing to hear it from her perspective. I felt like was actually there with her. I felt her pain, her fear, her determination. It really captivated me and made me more interested in learning about the history behind everything.

One negative comment is that Alice's storyline felt kinda predictable, especially in comparison to Adalyn's. There were times where I felt like it wasn't as thought out, or as important as Adalyn's, but maybe that was the point. But none-the-less, I really loved this book and will definitely be listening to it again!

Wonderful Book!

Difficult to put down, as a scholar that taught a class on Auschwitz for years this book hit home on the many realities of the Nazi atrocious. Well written in excellent detail, highly recommended read and listen.

Fantastic listen
