"A fast-paced and vibrant wartime tale of holding on to love against the odds and learning to fight for the truth." u00adu00ad–Kristin Harmel, New York Times bestselling author of The Paris Daughter A Parisian department store, a mysterious necklace and a woman’s quest to unlock a decade-old mystery are at the center of this riveting novel of love and survival, from New York Times bestselling author Pam Jenoff London, 1953. Louise is still adjusting to her postwar role as a housewife when she discovers a necklace in a box at a secondhand shop. The box is marked with the name of a department store in Paris, and she is certain she has seen the necklace before, when she worked with the Red Cross in Nazi-occupied Europe —and that it holds the key to the mysterious death of her friend Franny during the war. Following the trail of clues to Paris, Louise seeks help from her former boss Ian, with whom she shares a romantic history. The necklace leads them to discover the dark history of Lévitan—a once-glamorous department store that served as a Nazi prison, and Helaine, a woman who was imprisoned there, torn apart from her husband when the Germans invaded France. Louise races to find the connection between the necklace, the department store and Franny’s death. But nothing is as it seems, and there are forces determined to keep the truth buried forever. Inspired by the true story of Lévitan, Last Twilight in Paris is both a gripping mystery and an unforgettable story about sacrifice, resistance and the power of love to transcend in even the darkest hours.

THE AMBASSADOR’S DAUGHTER Paris, 1919. The world’s leaders have gathered to rebuild from the ashes of the Great War. But for one woman, the City of Light harbors dark secrets and dangerous liaisons, for which many could pay dearly. Brought to the peace conference by her father, a German diplomat, Margot Rosenthal initially resents being trapped in the congested French capital, where she is still looked upon as the enemy. But Margot strikes up unlikely alliances: with Krysia, an accomplished musician with radical acquaintances and a secret to protect; and with Georg, the handsome, damaged naval officer who gives Margot a job—and also a reason to question everything she thought she knew about where her true loyalties should lie. THE KOMMANDANT’S GIRL In this groundbreaking debut novel, nineteen-year-old Emma Bau is forced to disappear underground when Nazi tanks thunder into her native Poland, leaving her imprisoned within the city’s decrepit Jewish ghetto. But then, in the dead of night, the resistance smuggles her out to live in Krakow, where she takes on a new identity as Anna Lipowski, a gentile. Emma’s already precarious situation is complicated when Kommandant Richwalder, a high-ranking Nazi official, hires her to work as his assistant. At the urging of the resistance, she begins to use her position to access details of the Nazi occupation. As the atrocities of war intensify, Emma takes increasing risks to help the resistance, building to a climax that will risk not only her double life, but also the lives of those she loves. THE DIPLOMAT’S WIFE 1945. Surviving the brutality of a Nazi prison camp, Marta Nederman is lucky to have escaped with her life. Recovering from the horror, she meets Paul, an American soldier who gives her hope of a happier future. But their plans to meet in London are dashed when Paul’s plane crashes.

Entonces, Emma adoptó una falsa identidad y renunció a su religión. La precaria situación de Emma no hizo más que empeorar cuando conoció al comandante Richwalder, un alto oficial nazi que la contrató como ayudante. La resistencia comenzó a presionarla para que utilizara su privilegiada posición para recabar información sobre la ocupación nazi y Emma se vio obligada a poner en peligro su vida y sus votos matrimoniales, para ayudar a la causa. Al mismo tiempo que se intensificaban las atrocidades de la guerra, lo hacía también la relación de Emma y el comandante hasta llegar a un punto en el que no sólo pondría en peligro su vida sino también la de aquéllos a los que más quería.
