A young woman’s future is torn away in a heartbeat. Herded on to a train bound for Auschwitz, in an act of desperation she entrusts her most precious possession to a stranger. All she has left now is hope.Si el final es el esperado, el epílogo, ya en 1968, es precioso. Me emocionó y me arrancó alguna lágrima. Verhalen waarbij oorlog en Auschwitz een belangrijke rol spelen trekken mij aan, zo ook het verhaal van Sarah en David en Charlotte en Jean Luc A heartbreaking and emotional read based around WW2. Absolutely fantastic. I have no hesitation in giving this 5 stars *****’

Un narrador equisciente nos cuenta la historia a través de los personajes principales, Jean Luc, Charlotte y Sarah. Samuel, el niño salvado, nos narrará la suya en primera persona. Las dos primeras partes de la novela, que nos desgranan la vida de Charlotte y Jean Luc en 1944, sin estar mal, no me transmitieron la dureza que cabía esperar. Se me hicieron un poco lentas. A mi juicio, Druart se extiende demasiado en ellas. En la tercera, cuando Sarah y David Laffitte, así como Samuel, su hijo recién nacido, entran en escena, el libro cambia y cobra interés. A partir de ahí los capítulos volaron. Although I was a bit rattled by the leveling of criminal charges against Jean-Luc, who fled France with his girlfriend and baby in tow. He fled to survive the Nazi occupation in France and started a new life in California. The other storyline is about Sarah and David, a Jewish couple who are snatched by the Nazis and shipped to the Polish death camps but somehow survive to be reunited.This book was beautiful – a book on love and courage demonstrated in different ways, showing that there is no one way to love or be brave. I was unable to stop reading *****’ categories: 9/10, Book Review, Historical Fiction, Noteworthy Book Releases Title: While Paris Slept
