About This Book
THE PARIS OF THE EAST is a sweeping epic of love and war, courage and survival, sacrifice and loss. Warsaw, 1939.

A page-turning story that spans the period of the Second World War, this is a dramatic historical adventure that goes from Warsaw to Lublin, from Bucharest to Paris, from London to the Concentration Camp at Ravensbruck – but always at the heart of this novel is the mesmerising city of Warsaw – ‘The Paris of the East.’
