Publisher's Summary
From an exciting new voice in WWII historical fiction comes a tale of love, loss and a betrayal that echoes through generations…
Paris, 1940: War is closing in on the city of love. With his wife forced into hiding, Jacques must stand by and watch as the Nazis take away everything he holds dear. Everything except his last beacon of hope: his beloved bookshop, La Page Cachée.
But when a young woman and her child knock on his door one night and beg for refuge, he knows his only option is to risk it all once more to save a life…
Modern day: Juliette and her husband have finally made it to France on the romantic getaway of her dreams – but as the days pass, all she discovers is quite how far they’ve grown apart. She’s craving a new adventure, so when she happens across a tiny, abandoned shop with a for-sale sign in the window, it feels fated.
And she’s about to learn that the forgotten bookshop hides a lot more than meets the eye…
A heartbreaking tale of love and loss in war, perfect for fans of Kate Quinn and Jennifer Chiaverini.
What the critics say
"A ticking time-bomb of intrigue, wrapped around stark but rich descriptions of the Blitz. An unforgettable wartime debut." (Mandy Robotham, internationally bestselling author of The Berlin Girl)

Hard to put down this book The Forgotten Bookshop
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and found it hard to put down. The narrative was excellent and the storyline had some interesting twists and turns. I’ve always had Paris on my bucket list and now must go as soon as possible. Thank you Daisy Wood for a lovely read.

WWII Historical Fiction
As an avid reader or listener of this genre, I rarely expect to learn anything new about WWII. I was pleasantly surprised that I learned new things, such as how the Communists fit in while the Nazis ruled.
I also enjoyed the modern-day story as much as the historical one.
In all the sadness and misery of war, I am rarely moved to the point of tears. The male protagonist becomes a benevolent savior of so many lives. The stories of the mothers with their children being taken to the death camps, thrusting their children on this stranger to save their babies, had me in tears. As did this man's interactions with the children.
Although it sounds heavy, it is light on the monstrosities that the Nazis committed.
I look forward to hearing more from Daisy Wood.

I loved half of the story
The World War II part was wonderful the 2022 parts were terrible and romantically. Ridiculous. Too bad. Because I loved the historical part.

Wonderful story beautifully recorded
One of my very favorite audio books. I had to listen to it again sand savor the characters and immerse myself in the Paris under Nazi occupation and the amazing people who populated it along with the parallel plot in 2022. Highly recommended

Better as two books.....
I enjoyed each timeline, however, I think this book would have been better focusing on only one point in time and that preferably being the WW2 story. I

Love, Heart Wrenching and History
I absolutely love this book. I love historical fiction and this was wonderful. It brought tears and joy. I do go into the research side to read more about the atrocities by Hitlers 3rd Reik. My almost 10 year old Granddaughter has been listening as well and is totally disgusted by what she learns about the way the Nazis treatment of the Jewish people, especially the innocent children. History has been kicked to the curb and these books are helping bring these things back to light.
I wish more people understood WHY these statues and pieces of history are important because if they are taken away questions cannot be asked by the next generation. Questions such as who is this and why they were immortalized and what did they do that was good bad or otherwise. Put up a monument next to it telling the other side of that historical story and help the younger generation understand.
Thank you for this wonderful story!
