HeatherLINC | Jan 20, 2024 |    ) waldhaus1 | Jun 12, 2023 | Juliette and her husband’s trip to Paris ended in their separation, but it turned out to be a new start for Juliette. Juliette needed a place to stay and found an apartment above a bookstore and decided to restore the bookstore even though a friend’s grandmother ZiZi who is 97 told her to not dig up the past. Could this be the same apartment and bookstore that Jacques had owned during WWII? Yes it is…Jacques and his wife lived in that very apartment above the bookshop while Jacques kept the peace with the Germans by selling books to an officer, but his wife Mathilde was in the resistance and got herself in trouble. The bookstore sounded lovely and had a hidden room and lots of other secrets...will Juliette find out these secrets? THE FORGOTTEN BOOKSHOP IN PARIS goes from 1940 to present day. I always enjoy when there are connections from the past and present. Could there be a connection between the bookshop and the characters from 1940 and 2022? A lovely read that has some romance, mystery, history, and a chance to enjoy the city of lights both past and present. Truly enjoyable for historical fiction fans and women's fiction fans. 5/5 This book was given to me by the publisher via NetGalley for an honest review. ( ) SilversReviews | Oct 27, 2022 | The story in a few words: 1940: In the midst of Nazi occupation, while his wife in hiding, Jacques the owner of the bookshop “La Page Cachée” had to make tough decisions and risk everything to save those persecuted or in need of refuge. The story in time tells us how Jacques managed to rescue many of these poor souls. Forward to Modern day: On her romantic getaway Juliette and her husband Kevin realized how far they’ve grown apart. She is craving for a new adventure in Paris while Kevin heads back home. On a walk exploring the city she happens to come across a tiny abandoned shop .....”La Page Cachée” this forgotten bookshop was the answer to her dreams but this little abandoned gem had more than met the eye.... My thoughts: The dual time narrative works well and is easy to follow. The pacing unravels at a moderate pace and stays that way all through. I enjoy the story but I didn’t find much mystery to it. The “déjà lu” experience kept popping in my mind in fact I know I read something similar in the past. It seems a bookstore during the war was an important place for the résistance to do their exchange...at a risk of evil and betrayal....Nevertheless I liked this detailed and vividly said story, you can picture what is going on, in whole very engaging. Ms. Daisy gives her characters honor roles which they played out beautifully. In many ways “The Forgotten Bookstore in Paris” is a thought-provoking tale I enjoyed quite a bit. Thank you Avon UK Books and Netgalley for this ARC (  ) Tigerpaw70 | Sep 10, 2022 | nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

By the midway point, I was skimming the pages which is never a good sign but I have read so many better books set during WWII that I couldn't be bothered giving this book my full attention. I know I am going against popular opinion, but "The Forgotten Bookshop in Paris" was not for me. (
