There were comments that made me uncomfortable and then they, uh, were alone... Which started to lead to things that caused me to stop and the book looked like a cute one. Sick that authors let things go to undressing after stopping him from kissing her.

Después de ser engañada por su prometido, Autumn Maguire utiliza sus billetes para la luna de miel para explorar París por su cuenta. Deseosa de experimentar el verdadero estilo de vida bohemio, responde un anuncio en el que se busca modelo artística. Algo extraño sucede cuando cambia sus ropas por la capa roja del artista... se ve asaltada por una sensación de intenso despertar sensual. De pronto cae un rayo y gracias al poder de la magia negra se ve arrastrada al siglo XIX, donde el escandaloso pinto Paul Borquet insiste en que se convierta en su musa de cabello caoba. Entre la extraña vestimenta de la gente, las claustrofóbicas calles parisinas y el abrumador deseo sexual, Autumn no logra asimilar dónde se encuentra y cómo demonios ha llegado allí. Y, francamente, con las expertas caricias que Paul imprime en su cuerpo, ¿de verdad le importa regresar al presente?… (plus d'informations)

“I wonder where we’ll be when this war is over. Will we have interesting stories to tell, scars to show? Or will we reminisce about how we got through the war unscathed? Will any of us be here at all.”

Berlin 1936. The Landau family are at the heart of their community, running a music shop and just trying to survive. Their lives are beginning to unravel as Hitler's power grows and the treatment of Jewish families deteriorates. The oldest daughter, Rachel, fears for her sisters' future and will do anything she can to keep them safe. Paris 1936. As whispers of war travel over from Europe, American debutante Kay escapes from her mother's grasp and travels as a reluctant spy from Paris to Berlin. A chance meeting with the Landau family will change her life forever. Kay is determined to give Rachel and her sisters a fighting chance, even if it means making dangerous enemies along the way. These brave women will find strength in joining forces to save the ones they love. But they will need the support of one another more than they realize to survive.
This book was told from both Rachel and Kay's perspectives and I think this was an amazing way to highlight the different experiences for each woman. Both of them had dramatically different lives which became entwined with the war. Kay was mostly just looking for a way to be the opposite of what her mom wanted and found herself doing something great.
The book starts off very action packed with a lot of lives at stake, and on the most intense moment of the story, decides to switch back in time to show what led each woman to be there in that moment. The story is abo it love, family and hope something that the author does an amazing job of portraying throughout. I think it helped to see the vast differences in Rachel's experience with the war and with Kay's.
Perhaps most important is that this store shows the lengths both Rachel and Kay are willing to go to in order to keep this family together! All of the women in this novel prove to be incredibly strong and resilient, facing each situation with a sense of resolve. It was a moving and heartwarming story that left me thinking.

This isn’t just a story of wartime France.
This isn’t just a story of a young woman coming of age.

This is a story of HOPE, of SURVIVAL, of how even the darkest of times WILL end, and GOODNESS, BEAUTY, and LOVE can still be found, if only we have the courage to look for it.

Emma and Angéline's story, for it is as much the one’s as it is the other’s, was so touching, so moving, you can’t help but be transported back and forth in time with them as they discover more about each other, as well as themselves. From the loss of Tiena to the emergence of Angéline, the horrors of Dachau to the House of Doujan, the lessened health of a loved one to discovering more than just a tenuous glimpse at your family history, the story’s titled Lost Girl wavers from one character to another throughout. I beg you to never believe for a moment though that they were ever TRULY lost because if you still live within one heart, it can never truly come to pass.

All in all, I can only say it took a travesty from our past, and managed to show how beauty, strength, courage, and love still could be found amongst it all. It was heartbreaking and heart-warming all the same time, and by book’s end, I found myself brought to tears, for everything they went through, all the hurdles, hardships, and sacrifices, but also the moments of grace captured so vividly; it’s a story that I won’t soon forget. A great read and recommendation for Historical Fiction fans as well as readers of Biographies and Memoirs.
