Summary
War brings them together. Liberation will tear them apart.
A powerful portrait of war. a heartbreaking story of love. The extraordinary new novel from the author of While Paris Slept.
Paris 1944. Elise Chevalier knows what it is to love...and to hate. Her fiancé, a young French soldier, was killed by the German army at the Maginot Line. Living amongst the enemy Elise must keep her rage buried deep within.
Sebastian Kleinhaus no longer recognises himself. After four years spent fighting a war he doesn't believe in, wearing a uniform he despises, he longs for a way out. For something, someone, to be his salvation.
Brittany 1963. Reaching for the suitcase under her mother's bed, eighteen-year-old Josephine Chevalier uncovers a secret that shakes her to the core. Determined to find the truth, she travels to Paris where she discovers the story of a dangerous love that grew as a city fought for its freedom. Of the last stolen hours before the first light of liberation. And of a betrayal so deep that it would irrevocably change the course of two young lives life for ever.

Well narrated and captivating story.
I read Ruth Druart’s first novel and went straight on to this one which I have also enjoyed. She has a knack of making the reader become part of the characters in the story which stimulates the readers own emotions and helps form one’s own opinion as to how the characters respond to the events they face. What I have enjoyed from the novels is the historical setting, which can then be researched more factually and therefore I have learnt a lot about what happened to the people living through that time from different perspectives. The soldiers, the families, those occupying Paris and those occupied with all the trauma they faced. This book is well narrated and provokes feelings of sadness, anger and intrigue throughout…right up to the end. I look forward to the next book by a Ruth Druart.

Beautifully written- a must read!
I have to say I always think of myself as being very hard hearted, and it takes a awful lot to move me but I can honestly say I’ve just finished listening to this book with tears streaming down my face. I didn’t realise this is the second book I’ve listened to by this author, and both were so beautifully written, drawing you into the characters and really tugging at your heart strings. If you enjoy books set in this period of history The Last Hours in Paris is an absolute must!

Great listen
I echo completely Trisha’s well written comments. I too read both novels one after the other. Wonderful.
