The Black Swan of Paris by Karen Robards

4.0

I find myself drawn to historical fiction set in WWII because it was “the deadliest conflict in the history of the world. The number of casualties- sixty to eighty million killed-the enormity of the devastation, the sheer cost in human suffering, adds up to a tragedy so staggering it’s almost impossible to fully comprehend.” (Author’s afterword).
The Black Swan of Paris did a great job transporting me to German occupied France. I was really drawn into the story and wanted to find out what happened next. It would make a great choice for a book club because there was lots to discuss. The romance was a bit drawn out in my opinion which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. Overall highly recommend.
