Last Twilight in Paris by Pam Jenoff ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pub Date: February 4, 2025 Pages: 336 Audiobook Length: 10 hours, 31 minutes Bethany's Review: Historical Fiction is a go-to genre for me. I enjoyed the dual timelines going from 1943 and 1953, and the characters were wonderfully developed. There were pieces of history presented in this well-researched story that I hadn’t known about and I did some research on my own after the fact. I love when that happens. Some parts of the story were predictable, but I still enjoyed following Helaine and Louise on their journeys. I absolutely love stories about strong women and that was showcased here. This was a great historical fiction novel where I learned something new. Sara's Review: I am a big historical fiction fan and a big Jenoff fan. As always, I was impressed with her ability to weave history with fiction. The amount of research she puts into her books is astounding and obvious from page one. I enjoyed the characters, their growth, their challenges, their determination and grit. I found the love story connected to a lost necklace to actually detract from the rest of the story though. I think I would have enjoyed it more if we were more focused on the characters and their experiences than on their connection to a lost necklace. I liked that this story took place mostly in Paris during WWII, focusing on the high end department story that became a "home" for prisoners during the war. The descriptions and experiences during this time were horrific, and the strength of some during this time is awe inspiring. If you are a fan of historical fiction, especially centering on a not often written about part of WWII, this is a must read. LTKHome LTKFindsUnder50 LTKGiftGuide
