Until Leaves Fall in Paris
4 journalers for this copy...
There are SO MANY books these days covering WW-II in Europe. This one is about two American individuals who are each working with the resistance in Paris, but the man (Paul) is seemingly collaborating with the Nazi occupiers. The woman (Lucie) is a ballerina with the Paris Ballet but takes over an English language bookstore and gives up the ballet.
The book is long and there were too many religious references for my taste. It had a few exciting points (toward the end) but wasn't all that engaging.

Received from Calif-BookLover. Thanks! :)
Lucie is an American expatriate who dances in the lowest rank of the Paris ballet in 1940. When her Jewish friends decide to return to America, she buys their bookstore and promises to return it to them when things settle down. Along the way, she gets involved in passing covert messages for the resistance.
Paul is an American expatriate and widower with a young daughter. He runs a luxury automobile company that has been recently tasked with manufacturing trucks for the Germans. He is passing information to the American military but is seen by the French and by Lucie as a collaborator.
