The Paris Apartment
by Kelly Bowen

A remarkable novel of passion, intrigue, and bravery during the world’s darkest hours, and one woman’s fight to uncover the truth more than a half-century later.

London, 2017: When Aurelia Leclaire inherits an opulent Paris apartment, she is shocked to discover a treasure trove of famous art and couture gowns. One obscure painting leads Lia to Gabriel Seymour, a highly respected art restorer with his own mysterious past. Together they attempt to uncover the truths concealed within the apartment’s walls.
Paris, 1942: Glamorous Estelle Allard flourishes in a world separate from the hardships of war. Yet when the Nazis come for her friends, Estelle doesn’t hesitate to help. But she can’t know that her actions will have ramifications for generations to come.
Though seventy-five years apart, Estelle and Lia must summon hidden courage as they navigate the dangers of a changing world, altering history—and their family’s futures—forever.

Note: Many of us are doing our best to avoid purchasing from Amazon and a number of other large corporations, for a variety of reasons. I recommend purchasing books from local book stores if you have them in your area. If not, Bookshop.org is a great option.
