LAST TWILIGHT IN PARIS

Thérèse Plummer and Saskia Maarleveld, both outstanding storytellers, portray Laura and Helaine, two characters who span decades during and after WWII. Years after her traumatic experience volunteering for the Red Cross in Nazi Germany, Laura discovers half of an engraved necklace in England. Recognizing that the necklace is connected to her friend Franny, who mysteriously died during the war, Laura goes to Paris and discovers that a former glamorous department store served as a prison for Jews who included a woman named Helaine. As the novel unfolds the stories of Laura, Franny, and Helaine, Plummer and Maarleveld portray their tenacity as they struggled to survive this tumultuous period in history. The narrators' dialogue captures the horrors of war with dramatic flair. B.J.P. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2025]
