Paris Never Leaves You

"Masterful. Magnificent. A passionate story of survival and a real page turner. This story will stay with me for a long time."
-Heather Morris, author of
The Tattooist of Auschwitz and
Cilka's Journey





Living through World War II working in a Paris bookstore with her young daughter, Vivi, and fighting for her life, Charlotte is no victim, she is a survivor. But can she survive the next chapter of her life?


Alternating between wartime Paris and 1950s New York publishing, Ellen Feldman's
Paris Never Leaves You is an extraordinary story of resilience, love, and impossible choices, exploring how survival never comes without a cost.



The war is over, but the past is never past.
