Paris, 1939. De to unge mødre Elise og Juliette møder hinanden i Boulogneskoven i udkanten af byen og bliver hurtigt uadskillelige. Selvom krigens skygge kryber over Europa, mistænker ingen af kvinderne, at deres liv snart vil ændre sig uigenkaldeligt. Da Elise bliver et mål for den tyske besættelsesmagt, må hun efterlade sin elskede datter, Matilde, i Juliettes varetægt og flygte fra byen. Men i krig er intet sted sikkert, ikke engang en hyggelig lille boghandel som Juliettes Librairie des Rêves – ”Drømmenes boghandel” – og da bomberne begynder at falde over deres kvarter, lægges Juliettes verden i ruiner. Da krigen slutter, vender Elise tilbage til Paris for at blive genforenet med sin datter. Men da hun ankommer, er boghandlen reduceret til murbrokker, og Juliette er som sunket i jorden. Overlevende naboer fortæller hende, at Juliette og en lille pige overlevede bombardementet. Men hvem af de to piger? Kun Juliette kender svaret, og hun er sporløst forsvundet Datteren i Paris er en fortælling om mødre og døtre, om at miste og om de veje, man må tage for at begynde på en frisk, selv når det virker allermest utænkeligt. ”En mester-historiefortæller.” – Santa Montefiore, forfatter til Slotskrøniken-serien “Kristin Harmel er uden tvivl en af de bedste historiske romanforfattere, vi har.” – Heather Morris, forfatter til Tatovøren i Auschwitz

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 Revães, 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." -- Provided by publisher.
