Santa Cruz, 1953. Jean-Luc a crezut că a lăsat totul în urmă. Cicatricea de pe chipul său e un preț mărunt plătit pentru că a supraviețuit ororilor ocupației naziste. Acum, și-a făurit o viață nouă în California și are o familie. Însă nu s-ar fi așteptat niciodată ca, într-o bună zi, trecutul să îi bată la ușă. Paris, 1944. Viitorul unei tinere evreice se schimbă cât ai clipi. Obligată să urce într-unul din trenurile spre Auschwitz, femeia face un gest disperat și lasă tot ceea ce are mai de preț pe lume în mâinile unui străin. Nu-i rămâne acum decât speranța. Pe un peron întunecat, destinele a doi oameni se întrepătrund. Alegerea lor va schimba viitorul în moduri pe care nici unul din ei nu și le-ar fi imaginat. Alternând perspectivele, romanul În timp ce Parisul dormea reflectează asupra forței iubirii, rezistenței și curajului, atunci când totul pare pierdut. Explorând puterea legăturilor familiale și semnificația iubirii necondiționate, acest roman de debut este o lectură de neuitat. „Un debut puternic și emoționant al acestei noi autoare geniale și îndrăznețe. Împletind cu măiestrie planurile poveștii, Ruth Druart ne oferă, de la un capăt la altul al lecturii, suspans la cote înalte, o profunzime emoțională neașteptată și personaje fascinante. Fanii prozei istorice n-ar trebui să rateze această apariție.“ Imogen Kealey „Cartea aceasta își propune să abordeze niște întrebări eterne: Cât de departe ai merge ca să-ți aperi copilul? Iubirea înseamnă să ții pe cineva lângă tine sau să-i dai drumul? În cadrul acestei meditații asupra iubirii și sacrificiului, personajele – și cititorii – trebuie să aleagă între ce e corect și ce e cel mai bine.“ Janet Skeslien Charles
