Marc Tolbert, the French-born son of a prominent American Family, only dreamt of a new life in Paris as he sailed for France in 1939. Marc joins in the ex-pat scene as his new friend Dora introduces him to a circle that includes the famous Sylvia Beach, owner of the bookstore Shakespeare & Company; and he accepts a job with William Bullitt, US ambassador to France. At art school, he finds himself further enchanted by the alluring model Marie.

A year later, Marc's fiancée flees south with her family, stranded vacationing Americans scramble to escape Paris, and he is soon running with 10 Million other refugees from the advance of the German Army. After Marc is pulled from the sea on June 17th 1940, when the RMS Lancastria sinks, he decides to return to Paris in hopes of reconnecting with other trapped Americans, and his fiancée he lost in the chaos of the fall of France. His smuggling of Allied airman through the American Hospital to the Paris Resistance comes undone as a profound betrayal leads him into the hands of the Gestapo.

Rigorously researched with vibrant historical details, "The Siren of Paris" mines the human dilemma of revenge versus forgiveness. It vividly captures the conflicted state of survival and trauma of the war with details that have haunted the dreams of its readers.

L'autore

In writing his first novel, The Siren of Paris, David LeRoy drew upon his longtime interest in philosophy, the visual arts, myth, storytelling, psychology, and Ocean Liner travel. During a visit to France to study art in the fall of 2012, LeRoy became intrigued by the French Resistance, particularly when his research revealed the role of Americans in the Resistance, as well as the limited means of escape from Europe as the war escalated. LeRoy holds a bachelor of arts in philosophy and religion. --Questo testo si riferisce alla paperback edizione.

Puts you right in the war.

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 1 giugno 2013

Acquisto verificato

The point of view of the book is about freedom from the guilt of surviving the war, and also surrounding betrayal.

This is not a romance novel. In fact, it is at times graphic, and follows real historical events and people set during world war two, such as the sinking of the RMS Lancastria.

Marc Tolbert is not some cock sure arrogant alpha male who beats the Nazi's and wins the girl in the end. Instead, he is just a normal guy in the wrong place at the wrong time, who fell in love with the wrong woman, and for that, he must fight tooth and nail to save his soul.

Hard going....

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 15 ottobre 2017

Acquisto verificato

A difficult book to read. I wasn't keen on the style and none of the characters captivated me. Some of the Paris scenes during the war and in the prison camps gave one the impression of life during the war, but the constant changes of time in years became confusing. I managed to finish the novel but found it hard going and ultimately unsatisfying at the end.

Subtefuge and espionage - Excellent story about life in Paris during WW2"

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 6 aprile 2013

Acquisto verificato

This is a thrilling historical novel. Beginning just before the outbreak of the 2nd World War. It focuses on how choices in good faith can come back and haunt us in the future. Brutal and shocking and times, tender and gentle at others; a great mix. I found the ending a little confusing which is why I didn't give the book 5 stars but I am very glad I read it and recommend it to other readers.

A life well lived?

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 25 aprile 2013

Acquisto verificato

This is an interesting story, a flashback through a life lived in Paris in the Second World War and how the choices we make impact on our future. I very much liked the language and style of the novel, the way in which characters drifted in and out of the timeline and the real-life events and historical characters woven into the story. In tone, it reminded me very much of 'Birdsong'.

Main characters need more depth

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 11 maggio 2013

Acquisto verificato

This could have been good story but I gave up third of way through. Author needs to build more background or personality into his main characters as by that stage if they still feel like strangers to me I lose interest. Otherwise well written and researched.
