Liv­ing through World War II work­ing in a Paris book­store with her young daugh­ter, Vivi, and fight­ing for her life, Char­lotte is no vic­tim, she is a sur­vivor. But can she sur­vive the next chap­ter of her life? Alter­nat­ing between wartime Paris and 1950s New York pub­lish­ing, Ellen Feld­man’s Paris Nev­er Leaves You is an extra­or­di­nary sto­ry of resilience, love, and impos­si­ble choic­es, explor­ing how sur­vival nev­er comes with­out a cost. The war is over, but the past is nev­er past.
