About
A Parisian department store, a mysterious necklace and a woman's quest to unlock a decade-old mystery are at the center of this captivating novel of love and survival.
London, 1953. Louise is still adjusting to her postwar role as a housewife when she discovers a necklace in a box at a secondhand shop. The box is marked with the name of a department store in Paris, and she is certain she has seen the necklace before, when she worked with the Red Cross in Nazi-occupied Europe - and that it holds the key to the mysterious death of her friend Franny during the war.
Following the trail of clues to Paris, Louise seeks help from her former boss Ian, with whom she shares a romantic history. The necklace leads them to discover the dark history of Lévitan - a once-glamorous department store that served as a Nazi prison - and Helaine, a woman who was imprisoned there, torn apart from her husband when the Germans invaded France.
Louise races to find the connection between the necklace, the department store and Franny's death. But nothing is as it seems, and there are forces determined to keep the truth buried forever. Inspired by the true story of Lévitan, Last Twilight in Paris is both a gripping mystery and an unforgettable story about sacrifice, resistance and the power of love to transcend in even the darkest hours.
"A fast-paced and vibrant wartime tale of holding on to love against the odds and learning to fight for the truth, set against the backdrop of the startling and tragic history of a real-life, Nazi-occupied department store right in the center of the City of Light." -Kristin Harmel, New York Times bestselling author of The Paris Daughter
"[A] gripping tale of love, war, and the fight to survive... Pam Jenoff weaves her assiduous research with lyrical and poignant prose, bringing to life the struggles to endure the evils of Nazism and the heartening efforts to serve the better angels of humanity... Last Twilight in Paris has solidified Jenoff's stature as the beloved voice of World War II fiction." -Allison Pataki, New York Times bestselling author of Finding Margaret Fuller
"A suspenseful tale of betrayal and murder, as well as the enduring bonds of love. I found myself holding my breath until the final page." -Fiona Davis, New York Times bestselling author of The Stolen Queen
