READERS GUIDE FOR
PRAISE FOR The Last Time I Saw Paris
“American money, Nazi skulduggery, British sangfroid, French passion—in The Last Time I Saw Paris, Lynn Sheene delivers more drama, romance and suspense than we’ve seen since the Paris Occupation in Casablanca.”
—Katherine Neville, New York Times bestselling author of
The Fire
“The Last Time I Saw Paris is an absorbing, suspenseful and delightful debut. Lynn Sheene has delivered a fantastic romantic thriller, which perfectly balances convincing historical research with page-turning thrills. It is an absolute joy to read.”
—David Liss, bestselling author of The Devil’s Company
“Set against the backdrop of Paris during the Second World War, The Last Time I Saw Paris is a breathtaking tale of love, courage, intrigue and betrayal. Beautifully written and heartfelt, it is a thoroughly enjoyable and memorable read.”
—Pam Jenoff, bestselling author of The Kommandant’s Girl
“The Last Time I Saw Paris glows with the faded but indomitable beauty of the city herself. Sheene’s research is impeccable, her writing lyrical, and in Claire Badeau she has created an unflinching heroine who haunted me long after I regretfully devoured the last page. Sheene is a powerful writer, and I cannot wait to read whatever comes next.”
—Rebecca Cantrell, award-winning author of
A Night of Long Knives
