A heartbreaking tale of love and loss in war,

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…

It was 2022 when Juliette and Andrew arrived in Paris for a holiday from the US. Juliette’s grandmother had been born in the city of love and lived through the war years, although she wouldn’t talk about it before she died. The painting, which had been such a big part of her life, was now Juliette’s and she was determined to find the little square depicted. After Juliette discovered a hidden secret, Andrew returned to the US, leaving Juliette to search for her roots - that history was to be a big part of her life, especially when she found a derelict old store for sale, in the square she’d been drawn to. Juliette decided to renovate and re-open the old store, calling it The Forgotten Bookshop
