Kricorian, Nancy

This is a fast-moving, relatable story that would be a good addition to a historical fiction section or fiction of special interest to women. Fans of Lisa Wingate and Chris Bohjalian will also enjoy.

This novel has already been compared to Tatiana de Rosnay's Sarah's Key as another exposé of German atrocities in occupied Paris. With a bittersweet love story, examples of everyday heroism, and a community refusing to give in to tyrants, Kricorian's work sheds even more light on the German occupation of France.
