No comments

“Last Twilight in Paris” by Pam Jenoff is an amazing and memorable masterpiece, weaving the events, people and places in history. I am a huge fan of Pam Jenoff, and have read all of her books, which mostly are set in the historical frame of World War Two. Kudos to the author for writing such a heartfelt and thought-provoking story. The author vividly describes the events, the locations, and the dramatic characters. The genres for this story are Historical Fiction, Women’s Fiction, Adult Fiction, and World War Two Historical Fiction with a touch of Romance. The story mostly takes place in Paris and London during and after World War Two.

After World War Two, Louise, who helped deliver packages to prisoners in Nazi-occupied Europe for the Red Cross, is now a housewife with twins and a husband with PTSD from the war. She volunteers and finds half of a locket in a crate. This locket reminds her of one that a friend and singer during the War, had asked Louise to take it out of the camp . Louise was afraid to help this friend because of her fear of the Germans. Her friend had died shortly after that. On the bottom of the crate is the name of a famous Parisian department store. Louise is determined to unravel this mystery. You will be shocked to discover the information about this store.

This is a fast paced novel with danger, espionage, twists and turns, and unexpected revelations. There were a few intense and edgy UH-OH moments. I love how Pam Jenoff discusses the importance of loyalty, survival, communication, sisterhood, love and hope. I highly recommend this as a must to read book for 2025.
