A stunning debut novel of a young American woman who becomes a spy in Paris during World War II.  May 1940: Fleeing a glamorous Manhattan life built on lies, Claire Harris arrives in Paris with a romantic vision of starting anew. But she didn't anticipate the sight of Nazi soldiers marching under the Arc de Triomphe. Her plans smashed by the German occupation, the once-privileged socialite's only option is to take a job in a flower shop under the tutelage of a sophisticated Parisian florist.  In exchange for false identity papers, Claire agrees to aid the French Resistance. Despite the ever-present danger, she comes to love the enduring beauty of the City of Light, exploring it in the company of Thomas Grey, a mysterious Englishman working with the Resistance. Claire's bravery and intelligence make her a talented operative, and slowly her values shift as she witnesses the courageous spirit of the Parisians.  But deception and betrayal force her to flee once more--this time to fight for the man she loves and what she knows is right. Claire just prays she has the heart and determination to survive long enough to one day see Paris again...… (plus d'informations)

Mayo de 1940. Claire Harris huye de Manhattan con la romántica idea de empezar una nueva vida en París. Pero sus planes se truncan cuando ve a los soldados nazis desfilando bajo el Arco del Triunfo: la ocupación alemana ha comenzado. Su única opción es trabajar en una floristería bajo la atenta mirada de madame Palain. A cambio de documentación falsa, Claire empieza a colaborar con la Resistencia francesa. A pesar del peligro que esto supone, la joven florista descubre la eterna belleza de la Ciudad de la Luz mientras la explora en compañía de Thomas Grey, un misterioso inglés que también trabaja para la Resistencia. La valentía y la inteligencia de Claire la convierten enseguida en una eficiente espía, y sus valores cambiarán al ser testigo del valeroso espíritu de los parisinos. Pero la decepción y la traición la fuerzan a huir de nuevo, esta vez para pelear por el hombre al que ama. Claire solo reza para reunir el coraje y la firmeza suficientes para volver a ver París algún día

An interesting novel set in wonderful Paris, in the harshest of times for its citizens. I enjoyed the relationship Claire developed with Madame Palain, and how she grew and developed into a trusted and talented employee until she became involved in The Resistance. As a period in European history I knew little about, I enjoyed the story, and the romance and caring woven through it. I did not enjoy her relationships with Nazis and found her decisions in regard to the sexual situations she frequently found herself in, and her clandestine searching for clues and information a little far fetched.

La autora de este libro es Lynn Sheene y fue publicado en el año 2011. El género es Novela rosa, Ficción histórica. Esta novela está ambientada en la década de los 40 cuando los nazis invaden Francia y que tiene como protagonista a Claire Harris, americana, que que gusta de la buena vida y glamorosa. Huye de Manhattan con la romántica idea de empezar una nueva vida en París para reencontrarse con su amor, el mismo que había sido su amante. Pero sus planes sufren un cambio drástico por el inicio la ocupación alemana en el mismo momento que llega a París. Ella tiene que pasar por muchas dificultades y empieza a colaborar con la Resistencia francesa. La valentía y la inteligencia de Claire la convierten en seguida en una eficiente espía, y sus valores cambiarán al ser testigo del valeroso espíritu de los parisinos. “Desde ese punto de vista descubre en los parisinos algo más allá de los tópicos existentes sobre ellos, el valor que demuestran por la defensa de lo suyo y el amor a su patria inciden hondamente en la protagonista”. La historia esta llena de drama y suspenso donde se mezclan con lo romántico. Tiene todos los elementos de acción trepidante con mucha emociones y que hace que uno no pare de leer para ver cual será el desenlace. ( )

Over the last few years I have become interested in what happened during WWII. This year I have read several fiction books based during that time. This is one of them. I really enjoyed this book. Clair is an Oklahoma farm girl who is dirt poor and heads to NY to get a better life. She fabricates her background and marries into society. When her husband figures out she isn’t society, she flees to Paris to find a man she had an affair with how she thought she was in love with. When she gets to Paris she lands smack in the middle of the war. See soon becomes part of the resistance against the Germans and endangers her life and the lives around her. I found this book beautifully written, very descriptive and enjoyable. I was pulled back to Paris and the war and worried about the different characters. Sometimes when I read historical fiction books, I wonder, would I have had the strength to fight the Germans or would I have fled. I applaud anyone who risked their lives for their country and the sacrifices they made during WWII. I recommend this book. ( )

Claire Harris Stone breathed in the faint scent of roses from the courtyard garden below as her yielding body swayed to the strains of "In The Mood" drifting out the open French doors.
