Histoire
When newlywed Ruby Henderson Benoit arrives in Paris in 1939 with her French husband, Marcel, she imagines strolling arm in arm along the grand boulevards, awash in the golden afternoon light. But war is looming on the horizon, and as France falls to the Nazis, her marriage begins to splinter, too. Charlotte Dacher is 11 when the Germans roll into the French capital, their sinister swastika flags snapping in the breeze. After the Jewish restrictions take effect and Jews are ordered to wear the yellow star, Charlotte can't imagine things getting much worse.

After being stolen from her wealthy German parents and raised in the unforgiving wilderness of eastern Europe, a young woman finds herself alone in 1941 after her kidnapper dies. Her solitary existence is interrupted, however, when she happens upon a group of Jews fleeing the Nazi terror. Stunned to learn what’s happening in the outside world, she vows to teach the group all she can about surviving in the forest—and in turn, they teach her some surprising lessons about opening her heart after years of isolation.

Histoire
Lina Meisel, a retired librarian in Florida, is reading the newspaper one morning when she freezes. Her eyes lock on a photograph of a book she hasn’t seen in 65 years - a book she recognizes as The Book of Lost Names. The accompanying article discusses the looting of libraries by the Nazis across Europe during World War II - an experience Lina remembers well - and the search to reunite people with the texts stolen from them so long ago. The book in the photograph is one of the most fascinating cases.

Alix St. Pierre. An unforgettable name for an unforgettable woman. She grew up surrounded by Hollywood glamor, but, as an orphan, never truly felt part of that world. In 1943, with WWII raging and men headed overseas to fight, she lands a publicity job to recruit women into the workforce. Her skills—persuasion, daring, quick-witted under pressure—catch the attention of the U.S. government and she finds herself with an even bigger assignment: sent to Switzerland as a spy. Soon Alix is on the precipice of something big, very big. But how far can she trust her German informant…?

Description
At 36, Hope McKenna-Smith is no stranger to bad news. She lost her mother to cancer, her husband left her for a 22-year-old, and her bank account is nearly depleted. Her own dreams of becoming a lawyer long gone, she’s running a failing family bakery on Cape Cod and raising a troubled preteen.
Now, Hope’s beloved French-born grandmother Mamie, who wowed the Cape with her fabulous pastries for more than 50 years, is drifting away into a haze of Alzheimer’s. But in a rare moment of clarity, Mamie realizes that unless she tells Hope about the past, the secrets she has held on to for so many years will soon be lost forever. Tantalizingly, she reveals mysterious snippets of a tragic history in Paris. And then, arming her with a scrawled list of names, she sends Hope to France to uncover a 70-year-old mystery.
Hope’s emotional journey takes her through the bakeries of Paris and three religious traditions, all guided by Mamie’s fairy tales and the sweet tastes of home. As Hope pieces together her family’s history, she finds horrific Holocaust stories mixed with powerful testimonies of her family’s will to survive in a world gone mad. And to reunite two lovers torn apart by terror, all she’ll need is a dash of courage, and the belief that God exists everywhere, even in cake....

I loved this story but hated thr beginning
This book is such a good read. I just needed to get through the first 11 chapters. It was triggering for me the self doubt and give up attitude of the main character, the disrespect from the tween, and the way an alzheimer patient was spoken to. BUT once the adventure started, I couldn't stop listening. This is a story I will remember forever. Loved it.

Another wonderful story from this author
The narrator’s reading of the story was dreadful. She didn’t even know how to pronounce Paris in French

Great story by the narration does not do it justice.

Another winner from Harmel
The story was wonderful and the plot stayed interesting. The narrator did grate at times, especially when talking French. Overall though, Harmel doesn’t disappoint with a story of lost love set against the horrors of WWII and of overcoming loss and finding Hope.

Enjoyed the story, not the narrator ☹️
I very much enjoyed the story, but the narration took away from my enjoyment of the book. The accents attempted by the narrator were not well done, and every accent sounded the same - French, Albanian, etc. I wish I had read this book instead of listening to it.

Amazing Story, Terrible Narrator
As per usual, Kristin Harmel’s novels are incredible. This was the last one I had to listen to in order to have listened to them all. If it had been the first, I wouldn’t have continued. It took everything in me to not stop listening. This narrator is awful. She sounds like a kindergarten teacher, and talks incredibly slow. I turned the speed up to 1.5 so that she would be speaking at an almost normal speed. As well, her French accent is atrocious. At least have someone who speaks French perform this part. Anyway, awesome story, awful narrator.

Great Story, Terrible Narration
I admit I had to return this audiobook and switch to the paperback version. The narrator's terrible "accent from nowhere" attempt at a French accent was so distracting that I couldn't focus on the story. Her accent should have been tested before allowing her to carry on with narrating this book. The story? Great!

Not with the purchase. Narration and story are FULL of issues.
I wish I had read the reviews before buying this book. Kristin Harmel’s books are usually very good. Is this book not as good in part because of the awful narration??? Yep! The narrator tries hard to get the French accents right. She fails miserably. The accent is bad! It often trails off mid sentence only to return in the next one. Sometimes the accent switches to an English one mid sentence!
Then there is the nasal vocal fry at the end of every sentence. Not a narrator I will ever listen to again.
I found the sorry no where close to that of the ones I have listened to. Much less historical and so much more fiction.
