“…but to be on my own again and free. The thought is a dangerous one, though, and I know that I mustn‘t let it grow too large.”

HF dual timeline - midWWII and postwar 1953. Louise tries to connect clues and memories based on a lost then rediscovered necklace, a department store-turned-Nazi venue for selling seized goods, and her friend Franny…

This engaging dual time line story(1943/1953)kept me riveted throughout.It‘s fast-paced,a tale of love, survival, & the challenges of war. Two woman are the protagonists, Helene is a POW living and working in the Levitan,a department store in occupied Paris. Her job is to sort confiscated Jewish goods for resale to Nazi officers.Louise, once a Red Cross volunteer who delivered packages to POWs during WWII,is now a ⬇️

kspenmoll Housewife working part time in a thrift store.There she finds a necklace that is familiar to her in a box marked Levitan.She decided to go to Paris & try to unravel this mystery. What I loved about this novel is that I had never heard of this department store being used for POWs. 1mo

This was a quick read but it wasn't as thrilling as I wanted it to be. Very interesting story though

Now my favorite of Alka Joshi! Radha, mother of 2, works as a lab assistant at the House of Yves, a fragrance firm. Her career is about to take off, but her husband is fighting it all the way. On top of it, her big secret is about to explode. Filled with lovable characters and life situations we can understand this book will pull you in and wrap its arms about you.

Finished this tonight. Initially I read it, then put it aside, then picked it up again, etc. As usual, I need to sit on the book before i review it here. I am glad I read it.
