I learn new historical facts each novel I pick up set during World War Two. That alone shows us how complex our world was during that period. When the Germans invaded Paris they overtook a multi-level Jewish-owned store called Lévitan and turned it into a work camp for prisoners. The prisoners spent their day sorting through illegally obtained goods during Jewish neighborhood raids. These goods were then separated for shipping to other areas or sold downstairs to non Jewish Germans. Many times prisoners found out the fate of loved ones when their family treasures were processed through the camp. Last Twilight in Paris takes us on a journey from 1953 to back during the war.

In 1953 while Louise is working at a local London thrift shop she comes across a mizpah that brings back memories. One such memory was the death of her friend that she always believed was not an accident. Louise travels to Paris with the necklace in hand and is determined to find out what happened to her friend and the other part of the necklace.

My suggestion is to run to your nearest book dealer and pick up this recently published read. Be prepared to fall into the story and stay until the last page.
