A heart-wrenching novel that unearths generations of secrets and sacrifices -- perfect for fans of The Paris Orphan and The Lost Girls of Paris.
When a woman inherits a Parisian apartment undisturbed since WWII, she discovers that it may hold the key to unraveling her cold and distant great-grandmother's secret life -- a past of sacrifice during a mission to protect those she loved.

My Rating - 4 Stars!
Upon inheriting an apartment in Paris, Aurelia discovers a world she never knew existed. What she finds upon first view is what looks to be a museum of stolen art. Assuming her aunt was a Nazi collaborator, she soon unveils the truth.
The author excels in slowly unveiling the events from the past, while combining Aurelia's search and discoveries, with what happened to her aunt, Estelle, and her friend Sophie during the war.
The past includes death and injuries, orphaned children, and a look into saving some of the countries citizens and artwork. This stories includes a secret room, as well as a secret apartment, that were all used during the war.
This tale is written with plenty of details, as well as a wealth of knowledge about the times.
The Paris Apartment is a wonderful read. I highly suggest this Kelly Bowen story to anyone interested in reading more about some of the secret events that took place during wartime. It's a stunning look into female heroes, and the mysteries that survived the years.
