Book Review of The Room on Rue Amelie

The Room on Rue Amelie
debbiemd avatar reviewed on


WWII France. An American woman married to a French man gets involved with the Resistance working to hide downed pilots and helping with the escape line. Her husband dies early in the book and she is on her own. She also takes in a young Jewish girl and hides her when her parents are rounded up. And then she falls in love with one of her pilots. There is a prologue and an epilogue. The prologue is written with no names and leads you to believe it is one couple. In the prologue you realize it is a different couple. Well written and interesting.
