The Room on Rue Amélie
by Kristin Harmel
SUMMARY: This is the story of an American woman, a young Jewish girl, and a British RAF pilot during the occupation of Paris in WWII.
MY REVIEW: I enjoy historical fiction, though I normally read Christian fiction. While there is some language, including taking the Lord’s name in vain, and some sex, it was not overwhelming. I did not agree with character’s visions of heaven. However, it was a great story and one not soon forgotten.
I got hooked by the story immediately, and the story kept me turning pages long after I said: “I really should stop here and finish tomorrow…..well, just one more chapter.” :) I ended up staying up until 2:30 a.m. to finish it. I pretty much read it in one sitting.
A few things in the story felt just a little unrealistic and it was a bit predictable.
This was the first book I’ve read by the author, but I’d definitely be willing to read more.
MY RATING: 4.5 stars for keeping me turning the pages until the wee hours.
