Throughout the 1940s, forgers helped thousands of children escape Nazi France. In this instant New York Times bestseller, Kristin Harmel reimagines their story...
Perfect for readers of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Librarian of Auschwitz and The Book Thief.
In 1942, Eva is forced to flee Paris after the arrest of her father, a Polish Jew. Finding refuge in a small mountain town, she begins forging identity documents for Jewish children escaping to neutral Switzerland. But erasing people comes with a price, and along with a mysterious, handsome forger named Rémy, Eva realises she must find a way to preserve the real names of the children who are too young to remember their own identities.
When Rémy disappears and the resistance cell they work for is betrayed, the records they keep in The Book of Lost Names become even more crucial to remembering the truth...
A present day discovery of the book leaves researchers fascinated by its origins and desperate to decipher its codes. Only Eva holds the answer but will she have the strength to face old memories and help reunite those lost during the war?

Marrakech 1966.
Vicky Baudin steps onto a train winding through Morocco, looking for the grandmother she has never met.

But dark secrets whisper amongst the dunes. And in unlocking the mystery of Clemence’s past, Vicky will unearth great danger too . . .
Diana Biller's The Brightest Star in Paris is a thrilling story of
first loves and second chances. She never expected her first love
to return, but is he here to stay? Amelie St. James is a fraud.
After the Siege of Paris, she became "St. Amie," the sweet,
virtuous prima ballerina the Paris Opera Ballet needed to restore
its scandalous reputation, all to protect the safe life she has
struggled to build for her and her sister. But when her first love
reappears looking as devastatingly handsome as ever, and the ghosts
of her past quite literally come back to haunt her, her hard-fought
safety is thrown into chaos. Dr. Benedict Moore has never forgotten
the girl who helped him embrace life after he almost lost his. Now,
years later, he's back in Paris. His goals are to recruit promising
new scientists, and maybe to see Amelie again. When he discovers
she's in trouble, he's desperate to help her--and hold her in his
arms. When she finally agrees to let him help, they disguise their
time together with a fake courtship. Soon, with the help of an
ill-advised but steamy kiss, old feelings reignite. Except, their
lives are an ocean apart. Will they be able to make it out with
their hearts intact? I foresee years of excellent storytelling from
Diana Biller; the certainty of that excites me. - Smart Bitches,
Trashy Books
