The forgotten bookshop in Paris : a novel / Daisy Wood.
Paris, 1940: War is closing in on the city of love. With his wife forced into hiding, Jacques must stand by and watch as the Nazis take away everything he holds dear. Everything except his last beacon of hope: his beloved bookshop, La Page Cachée. But when a young woman and her child knock on his door one night and beg for refuge, he knows his only option is to risk it all once more to save a life... Modern day: Juliette and her husband have finally made it to France on the romantic getaway of her dreams -- but as the days pass, all she discovers is quite how far they've grown apart. She's craving a new adventure, so when she happens across a tiny, abandoned shop with a for-sale sign in the window, it feels fated. And she's about to learn that the forgotten bookshop hides a lot more than meets the eye...
