THE PARIS PROMISE
Antoinette Valette, a professional violinist, had always dreamed of this life. However, as the Nazis invaded Paris, her dream began to slip away. Her husband and son were Jewish, and she feared for their lives. With no place to hide, they had no choice but to blend in.
When her beloved husband was taken away, Antoinette vowed to protect her son from the same fate. She sought the help of the Resistance, hoping they could ensure her son’s safety on the train leaving Paris. Reluctantly, she had to let him go, knowing it was her only option to keep him alive. She promised him she would find him.
The Resistance offered her a unique opportunity: to use her musical talent as a spy to infiltrate the ranks of high-ranking Nazi officers. Eager to protect her son, Antoinette accepted the assignment.
“The Paris Promise,” written by Suzanne Kelman, is an extraordinary and heart-wrenching novel. It’s a tale of hope, faith, and the unwavering spirit of never giving up on one’s dreams. The author’s vivid descriptions of Paris in the 1940s immerse the reader in the story.
As I turned the pages, my heart was repeatedly broken. The writing was so well-crafted that I couldn’t put the book down until I reached the very last page. I was deeply moved by Antoinette’s story and her willingness to risk her own life to save her family. If you’re seeking a remarkable historical fiction novel, “The Paris Promise” is a must-read. I highly recommend this wonderful book.
