Reviews

This beautiful, heart-wrenching novel examines the harsh realities while remaining hopeful and celebrating resilience and love.
In this vivid, affecting novel of intertwined destinies and the enduring power of love against the bleakest odds, Melanie Levensohn weaves a tale saturated with historical accuracy and yet surprisingly intimate. A Jewish Girl in Paris delivers romance and intrigue to spare, but the novel’s real power lies in its portrayal of how deeply and sometimes mysteriously we can find ourselves connected to the past, and to each other.
Inspired in part by her own fascinating family story, author Melanie Levensohn has crafted an emotional tale of two women . . . desperately searching for answers . . . A Jewish Girl in Paris is a deeply researched, emotional roller coaster ride of love, fate, and second chances.
An elegantly drawn tale . . . [with] a pacy narrative, relatable heroines, and an eye for historical detail about life in occupied France.
