The Past is Never Past: Jan Eliasberg, Hannah’s War, and Ellen Feldman, Paris Never Leaves You

The war is over, but the past is never past.

Living through World War II working in a Paris bookstore with her young daughter, Vivi, and fighting for her life, Charlotte is no victim, she is a survivor. But can she survive the next chapter of her life? Alternating between wartime Paris and 1950s New York publishing, Ellen Feldman’s Paris Never Leaves You is an extraordinary story of resilience, love, and impossible choices, exploring how survival never comes without a cost.

Paris Never Leaves You is a CNN “Best Books” Pick for August 2020. Shelf Awareness says, “An unforgettable story of resistance, trust, faith and love … immediately grabs readers’ hearts and never lets go,” and Publishers Weekly adds, “A dangerous secret gives Feldman’s story a gasp-worthy spin.”
