I created a special cubby on my bookshelf filled with some of my nephew‘s books. Some were in his backpack when he died, others were ones we had bought together or I had gifted him. The framed item is his Ex Libris stamp. The flowers from one of the funeral bouquets we were sent. It‘s a sweet way to be reminded of him every day since we connected so deeply over what we were reading.

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. 7d

Sorry I‘ve been MIA but I‘ve been really busy and tired from trying to organize my house and take care of my mother at the same time. But The Last Secret Agent is a new book I‘ve started reading this past week. I am only into it a chapter or two, maybe three, but so far it‘s very interesting. Can‘t wait to read more. #LitsyReads #2025Reads #SundayReading #NetGalley #nonfiction #memoir

This is the definitive account by someone there to document the events. I mean, he was in the crowd witnessing historic speeches and running for shelter during bombing raids. If you want to know almost everything about the Nazi regime, this is the book. The infamous question: ‘How did the German population let this happen?‘ Is somewhat answered here. Terrifying, and highly recommended. Happy 'NO KINGS' day!

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