The Paris Escape
あらすじ・解説
In this sweepingly emotional story about what it takes to build the life you want, an heiress, her escort, and a young orphan must stick together during the tumultuous beginnings of World War II.
When Laura Powell and Henry Salter travel to Paris in 1938, neither considers the other very good company. Laura is a shallow, spoiled heir to a fortune, and Henry an opportunistic bore—or so they think. But as her father’s protégé, Henry is tasked with accompanying Laura for her safety, even as she continues to scorn him.
Orphaned stowaway David forces the pair to see eye to eye. They can ignore their growing feelings, but they can’t deny the boy’s need for protection. Yet even with this tentative truce, their problems are far from over.
The threat of war continues to grow until the Nazis occupy Paris. But Laura and Henry have opportunities they’re not willing to lose, and a home with David means more than safety outside France.
Before danger overtakes them, they’ll have to decide if the life they’re building can withstand what’s coming…and whether they have the strength to fight for it.
批評家のレビュー
“Social expectations and injustice collide in this breathtaking love story, taking readers through a heart-pounding journey that explores the deeper meaning of family.”—Cynthia Ellingsen, bestselling author of The Lighthouse Keeper
“Filled with emotion and well-researched details of the period, The Paris Escape transports the reader to World War II in the very best way. The evolution of Laura and Henry’s relationship, from dubious travel companions to romance, touches the heart, and the addition of David to their small circle pulls at the heartstrings even more. The Paris Escape is breathtaking World War II fiction, and book clubs will enjoy it immensely!”—Anita Abriel, internationally bestselling author of The Light After the War
“An enthralling read, blending the pace of a thriller with a romance that is heightened by the urgency of impending war. Dreams and innocence are met with danger around every corner, loyalties lead to desperate choices, and trust is shattered even while hope and heroism struggle to emerge from an ever-changing landscape. Readers will enjoy this fresh WWII tale and see themselves in the story in a way few books of the genre achieve.”—Camille Di Maio, bestselling author of The Memory of Us
