Fourth Wednesday Book Club: The Paris Daughter

Join us as we read The Paris Daughter by Kristin Harmel. This gripping historical novel is about two mothers who must make unthinkable choices in the face of the Nazi occupation. Young mothers Elise and Juliette become fast friends, neither suspecting that their lives are about to irrevocably change.

When Elise becomes a target of the German occupation, she entrusts Juliette with the most precious thing in her life—her young daughter. But nowhere is safe in war, not even a quiet little bookshop like Juliette’s, and, when a bomb falls on their neighborhood, her world is destroyed.

More than a year later, with the war finally ending, Elise returns to reunite with her daughter, only to find her friend’s bookstore reduced to rubble—and Juliette nowhere to be found. Elise’s desperate search leads her to New York—and to Juliette—one final, fateful time.
