About
For the Love of Paris is an inspiring work of historical fiction about war, love, religion, betrayal, human will and fate.
Paris, 1945: in a cafe overlooking the Boulevard St. Germain, a Frenchwoman shares her heartbreaking story with an American stranger. As she weaves her story for her enchanted listener, the glamorous world of pre-war Paris gradually unfolds. She comes of age in the city of lights in 1936, embarking upon a career as a journalist, having two love affairs and a marriage. Yet as the political climate of Europe begins to shift and the Nazis threaten France, her scathing rhetoric against Hitler places her squarely on the Nazis' radar. When her Jewish husband is arrested and deported, she is forced into a dangerous liaison with a Nazi general, a relationship upon which the fate of the entire city of Paris eventually hinges.
