A propos de cet article

Inspired by a true story of extraordinary courage, The Paris Children shines a light on a forgotten heroine of WWII--blending gripping suspense, heartbreaking sacrifice, and the enduring power of hope. Paris, 1935: As Nazi power tightens its grip on Europe, Madeleine Levy, granddaughter of Jewish World War I hero Alfred Dreyfus, refuses to be a bystander. With Paris shadowed by fear and suspicion, Madeleine becomes a central figure in the underground Jewish Resistance; forging alliances, delivering secret messages, and risking her life to shepherd vulnerable children out of occupied France to safety. As danger closes in, Madeleine's work grows ever more perilous. Her fierce compassion, and the bonds she forms with the children she saves, fuel her defiance in the face of overwhelming evil. Amid shifting allegiances and constant threat, Madeleine is tested by impossible choices, yet remains determined to defend the innocent--whatever the personal cost. For fans of The Nightingale and unforgettable WWII novels about unsung heroines and the Jewish Resistance. Praise for The Paris Children: "In The Paris Children, real-life Resistance fighter Madeleine Levy steps out from behind her famous grandfather, French political figure Alfred Dreyfus, to claim her own legacy of patriotism as she battled against anti-semitism in World War II. Author Gloria Goldreich shares the inspiring tale of Madeleine's brave and dangerous rescue of French children and the bittersweet nature of her ultimate sacrifice."--Marie Benedict, New York Times bestselling author of The Mystery of Mrs. Christie "In Gloria Goldreich's magic hands, this true story becomes a beautiful, imaginative retelling of an extraordinary woman's life. With her fine images and perceptive insights, Goldreich captures a dark era--and the human goodness that illumined it."--Francine Klagsbrun, author of Lioness: Golda Meir and The Nation of Israel "A page-turning and inspiring story of how courage and family ties can survive even the worst of evil."--New York Journal of Books "Atmospheric and immersive, The Paris Children is an extraordinary, rich novel that will leave a powerful mark on readers' hearts."--Kim Michele Richardson, New York Times bestselling author of The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek.…
