📖Title: The Paris Widow
✍️Author: Kimberly Belle
📆Pub date: June 11, 2024

🇫🇷This book was a blast! It gave me National Treasure vibes but make it Paris and I had to know how it would end!

📖When Stella and her husband are vacationing in Paris, he suddenly disappears after an explosion! Her story hits the Paris news quickly and she becomes known as “The Paris Widow” as everyone assumes the death of her husband, but she’s not convinced! Where did he go? Did she really know him as well as she thought she did? Can we even trust her? You’ll have to read to find out! I was pleasantly surprised by all the twists and turns this book took!

🇫🇷This was told in present day perspective by Stella and past tense perspective form her husband Adam’s perspective. The back and forth helped keep the story interesting and kept me on my toes guessing what would happen next!

📖I also loved the author’s note at the end and the explanation about how realistic so much of this wild story actually is today! If you have any interest in ancient archaeological artifacts, blood antiquities and the black market surrounding these treasures, this book is definitely for you!

🇫🇷I’m thankful that while there was quite a few sentences in French that the author went on to explain the English translation afterwards for the most part.

📖Some parts of this were pretty far-fetched, but it didn’t bother me too much! I just forgot about reality and enjoyed the ride 😂

❓Have you ever been to Paris? What’s the furthest you’ve been from your home?
