THE ROOM ON RUE AMELIE BY KRISTIN HARMEL is a historical fiction/romance novel set in the Paris of WWII. The story revolves around Ruby and Charlotte. Ruby is an adult American married to a Frenchman & Charlotte is a young Jewish girl. We see what the Nazi occupation of France was like for the people of France, brutal oppression, near starvation & Jews being rounded up and taken to camps.
I call this novel a two hankie book. The story of a love affair between Ruby, Thomas(a pilot) Charlotte and Lucien .
Not only do we get the romance, the history but we also get a healthy dose of intrigue, for you see, Ruby and eventually Charlotte are part of the underground rail that gets pilots out of France and back into the skies to fight another day. THE ROOM ON RUE AMELIE is a really good story and I very much recommend it.
I received a copy of this book free from goodreads in exchange for a honest review.
