Devon Book Club discussion

You may remember that last year Ruth Druart shared with us her journey to publication of "While Paris Slept" in a series we called Diary of a Debut Writer.

Ruth has had worldwide success with "While Paris Slept". Published by Headline Books Ruth's debut has been translated into 18 languages and has just been released in paperback.

And, I'm delighted to say, Ruth is visiting Devon next month and will be appearing at Liznojan bookshop in Tiverton on Thursday 3rd February. (see below for link to book for the event)

Ruth will not only talk about While Paris Slept but about the journey she has been on both as a debut novelist and as she prepares for the publication of her second book.

About While Paris Slept:

"One woman must make the hardest decision of her life in this unforgettably moving story of resistance and faith during one of the darkest times in history.

Santa Cruz, 1953. Jean-Luc is a man on the run from his past. The scar on his face is a small price to pay for surviving the horrors of Nazi occupation in France. Now, he has a new life in California, a family. He never expected the past to come knocking on his door.

Paris, 1944. A young Jewish woman's past is torn apart in a heartbeat. Herded onto a train bound for Auschwitz, in an act of desperation she entrusts her most precious possession to a stranger. All she has left now is hope.

On a darkened platform, two destinies become intertwined, and the choices each person makes will change the future in ways neither could have imagined.

Told from alternating perspectives, While Paris Slept reflects on the power of love, resilience, and courage when all seems lost. Exploring the strength of family ties, and what it really means to love someone unconditionally, this debut novel will capture your heart."
