This is set in mostly Paris about the resistance against the Germans. It's short and enjoyable.

I'm still working to get my 2020 reads in here. (I took a break from this app during the election when people started bringing the vitriol here, like every other platform.)
I read a couple of other books by Furst years ago, but this one didn't grab me like those earlier books.
Read for #MuseumPlaceBookGroup

Recently read Lilac Girls and following up with the theme and era. So far I'm hooked. The writing is engaging and reminds me of the style of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy. After this one I'm going to need a palate cleansing fluff read.

Loved it! Great story of the French Resistance during the German occupation of Paris.
Have read most of Furst's novels. Earlier ones superior in my view. Now seems like he is more or less phoning it in. One reviewer said Furst captures French resistance like no other writer but I think Kristin Hannah's The Nightingale is a better effort strengthened by its female perspective.
