The Paper Girl of Paris

Great story and loved it!

Such a good book

What an excellent read! The book pulled me in from the beginning to the end. The characters were alive and I followed right along with them. A grandmother died having never mentioning her sister. The story goes back and forth from present day to the Paris occupation. I cannot imagine living that terrible era. An apartment is left for Alice, the granddaughter. Information I found about Adalyn, the unspoken of sister. Alice researches to find out what happened to Adalyn after finding her diary. The story goes back and forth between Alice's research and Adalyn's work with the Resistance. The events are astounding and very realistic. I highly reccomend reading this book to anyone who reads WWII history. Although fictional, it is true to life of it's history. This book will remain in my memory for a long time to come. Definately in the top of my favorites.

I first read about this abandoned Paris apartment in the book, "The Paris Time Capsule" which was based on the true story of a Parisian woman who was being persecuted by the Nazis during WWII. She fled Paris leaving behind the apartment and a trove of treasures. So I wasn't sure quite what to expect from this book.I loved it. This book tells of a young girl, Alice, who inherits an apartment in Paris that no one knew existed. The apartment is filled with its own treasures and secrets. The book is filled with history, rich detail, heartbreak, joy, sadness and redemption. It is a dual time line told in the voices of the Alice and her great Aunt Adalyn.Without giving too much away, there is quite a lot going on in Alice's life in the present day including a truly lovely romance. In fact there's more than one romance in the book. But there is true grit here as well when you read of the hardships Parisians suffered during the occupation and what they did to survive. We've all read about the French resistance and this book shines a light on their bravery. Do not pass this one up.

This book is very good

This ended up being a great story but it took a while for me to get into it. Not a fan of history but it was put together well.

I love time slip novels and I love YA novels, but there aren’t many YA time slip novels (that I know of), so I’m so happy to have found this book! It was really well done and it made me both smile and tear up. I’m looking forward to reading more books by this author!

I love to learn more about this time period. This was a wonderful book, I wasn’t ready for it to end!

Libro adecuado para adolescentes

My 14 year old loves this book

Wow! What an awesome debut novel! If you enjoy historical fiction like I do, this is a terrific story. Set in Paris, with wonderful details, the author gives us deeper insight about occupied France (by the Germans) during WWII and the French Resistance. Taking the reader back and forth between present day and past, through the eyes of teenagers, is so engaging and emotional. I was particularly invested in the characters from the past but enjoyed the contrast with the present day characters.The writing is rich,suspenseful and also romantic. I had a hard time putting this book down and highly recommend it to teens and adults alike.

Great book! I could hardly put it down!
