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.
My Thoughts: I love stories about WWII and how in the face of evil goodness prevailed but usually with a price.
Lucie Girard is an American ballerina but as the war rages on she decides to help the Jewish owners of her favorite bookstore. The owners needed to sell the bookstore to leave as all Jews are being round up.
Now that Lucie owns the bookstore she is approached by the resistance to help. Since she is American it seems that she may be a good choice for helping Jews get to safety. And since a bookstore seems so "normal" no one would think that plans would be coming out of the store. Yes, Lucie hides secret messages inside the books for the resistance to pick up.
Then there is Paul Aubrey a widower with a young daughter who longs to return to the states. To play it safe. To keep his daughter safe. But he is asked to keep the factory going so he stays.
When Paul and Lucie meet at he bookstore there is instant chemistry but when Lucie finds out he helps the Germans she is so over him.
Secrets. Secrets. Secrets.
Such a great book about WWII and love and defeating inner emotions as well as deceiving the enemy.
