THE PAPER GIRL OF PARIS

Narrators Liza Seneca and Reba Buhr deliver the dual narratives of one girl's struggle to understand her family's history and another girl's battle to undermine the Nazi occupation of Paris. Buhr voices Alice with a light, youthful tone, connecting emotionally through the ups of a budding romance and the heartache of seeing her mother suffer from debilitating depression. After inheriting her grandmother's abandoned Paris apartment, the mystery of her great-aunt Adalyn's involvement with the Nazis slowly unravels. Seneca voices Adalyn's chapters primarily in a French accent, immersing listeners in Paris of the 1940s. Seneca's passionate delivery echoes Adalyn's struggle to maintain her social status among the Nazis while working to undermine their presence. An inspiring listen.
