Her newest novel, Until Leaves Fall in Paris, is well crafted with endearing characters that pull you into their story and escort you through their journey.
The story begins on May 29, 1940 and ends on March 7, 1942. The story belongs to Lucie Gerard, a ballerina and the owner of Green Leaf Books in Paris. The male lead is Paul Aubrey, the owner of the Aubrey Automobile Factory in Paris. Paul is a widower with a young daughter, Josie, who is an adorable girl with an invisible friend named Feenee. Paul always wonders why Josie came up with the name Feenee. I could share the reason but that would be somewhat of a spoiler.
When Lucie and Paul first meet there is a spark but it is short-lived when she finds out that Paul is working for the Germans. But her knowledge isn't complete so she turns him away. At least for a while.
The Green Leaf Bookstore is a place for the resistance to come and pass notes to other resisters within the pages of books. When Lucie discovers this she asks to help but is turned down, for a while.
I could go on but I really don't like to present too much of the story as I hate spoilers. I will say that the characters are so well constructed that they felt real to me. I felt as if I knew them in some way other than through the pages of this book.
I would highly recommend Until Leaves Fall in Paris to anyone who loves to read novels set during WWII. With Sarah Sundin you will not be disappointed.
On a 5-Star Scale - 5 HUGE Stars!!!!!
