Until Leaves Fall in Paris by Sarah Sundin, New Release!
Until Leaves Fall in Paris
Book Summary:
As the Nazis march
toward Paris in 1940, American ballerina Lucie Girard buys her favorite
English-language bookstore to allow the Jewish owners to escape. Lucie
struggles to run Green Leaf Books due to oppressive German laws and
harsh conditions, but she finds a way to aid the resistance by passing
secret messages between the pages of her books.
Widower Paul Aubrey wants nothing more than to return to the States with his little girl, but the US Army convinces him to keep his factory running and obtain military information from his German customers. As the war rages on, Paul offers his own resistance by sabotaging his product and hiding British airmen in his factory. After they meet in the bookstore, Paul and Lucie are drawn to each other, but she rejects him when she discovers he sells to the Germans. And for Paul to win her trust would mean betraying his mission.
Master of WWII-era fiction Sarah Sundin invites you onto the streets of occupied Paris to discover whether love or duty will prevail.

My Review:
Have you ever read a book that wraps you up so completely that you
forgot that you are even reading? Until Leaves Fall in Paris is that
book. Sundin is a splendid storyteller and she beautifully built Lucie
and Paul’s world. I felt like I was a part of it and walking the streets
of Paris with them. I could see Greenleaf Books, Lucie dancing ballet,
and Josie writing her Feenee stories while Paul worked at the factory.
Sundin easily transports the reader to Paris and the character’s lives
that it becomes real. So real that I cried at parts and my heart was
pounding at others. The reader feels all of the emotions in this World
War II set story. Sundin easily weaves in the thread of faith while
describing the resistance movement in Paris. This is an absolute must
read for historical Christian fiction fans. This one will win awards
because it is a book that will change your life. Run and get your copy,
they get cozy because you won’t be getting up until you have finished
the last page. I received a copy of this book for free; all thoughts and
opinions are my own.
Happy Reading!!!
