Brief 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.
