Until Leaves Fall in Paris follows two Americans working and living in Paris during the days of the Nazi Occupation, before America joins World War 2. It also takes place shortly after the previous book, When Twilight Breaks, leaves off.
There’s so much depth to the characters one can’t help but to feel like they’re friends. Lucie Girard is a ballerina, through and through. She’s so graceful, one can envision her as she works at her little English bookstore in the Latin Quarter. Paul Aubrey is endearing, despite the illusion he creates as someone who is working with the enemy. And Josie – she’s the sweetest four-year-old I’ve met in fiction!
Intrigue, suspense, and pulse-pounding moments pepper the pages of this World War 2 story. There were even moments where I teared up – which is unusual for me. A heartfelt, slow-burn, but not overbearing romance is an added bonus to this story about the resistance work in France.
The story pulled me in right from the first page, and the ending didn’t disappoint or feel contrived.
It was also fun to see Peter and Evelyn from the previous book make a brief appearance near the end.
A great read if you want a little bit of everything.
