The Paris daughter / by Harmel, Kristin,author.(CARDINAL)354540;
"Paris, 1939: Young mothers Elise and Juliette become fast friends the day they meet in the beautiful Bois de Boulogne. Though there is a shadow of war creeping across Europe, neither woman suspects that their lives are about to irrevocably change. When Elise becomes a target of the German occupation, she entrusts Juliette with the most precious thing in her life--her young daughter, playmate to Juliette's own little girl. But nowhere is safe in war, not even a quiet little bookshop like Juliette's Librairie des Rêves, and, when a bomb falls on their neighborhood, Juliette's world is destroyed along with it. More than a year later, with the war finally ending, Elise returns to reunite with her daughter, only to find her friend's bookstore reduced to rubble--and Juliette nowhere to be found. What happened to her daughter in those last, terrible moments? Juliette has seemingly vanished without a trace, taking all the answers with her. Elise's desperate search leads her to New York--and to Juliette--one final, fateful time."--

Sacred Paris : a guide to the churches, synagogues, and the grand mosque in the City of Light / by Cahill, Susan,author.(CARDINAL)513453; Ranoux, Marion,photographer.(CARDINAL)801991;
Includes bibliographical references and index."From the author of Hidden Gardens of Paris and The Streets of Paris comes a beautifully illustrated guide to the history of Paris through its renowned and beloved places of worship. When visiting the City of Light, the spirit of Paris can be felt everywhere. It holds a sacred history that goes beyond words, beyond religion, and its legendary places of worship are truly its crown jewels. Susan Cahill's Sacred Paris is a guide for seasoned Parisian visitors, novices, and armchair travelers to the historic religious sites of the city, from the well-known landmarks to the sacred spots off the beaten track, from the magnificent towers of Notre Dame and the sweeping arches of the Grand Mosque to the serenity of St. Julien le Pauvre. This spiritual tour is interwoven with the artistic and cultural history of Paris from the medieval Crusades through the Resistance of World War II: stand in the basilica of Saint Denis, where Joan of Arc prayed with her soldiers in the Hundred Years War, and gaze at the murals of Saint Sulpice painted by Eugene Delacroix or climb the hill to the Gothic Notre Dame d'Auvers that inspired Vincent van Gogh's beloved works. Organized by the major geographical sections of the city-Ile de la Cite; the Latin Quarter on the Left Bank; Montparnasse; Northern Paris on the Right Bank; the Marais-each chapter is accompanied by Marion Ranoux's beautiful four-color photographs. Also included are lists of "Nearbys": gardens, bistros, librairies, museums, and other points of interest to round out your visit"--
