Marc, a French born American student, never suspected that he would become trapped in German occupied France when he came to Paris in the summer of 1939 to study art. While smuggling a downed airman out of the American Hospital, through the Paris resistance underground, his life is plunged into total darkness when someone he trusts becomes a collaborator agent for the Gestapo. Marc then must fight to save his soul when he is banished to the “Fog and the Night” of Buchenwald, where he struggles with guilt over the consequences of having his trust betrayed.

Rebecca Graf Reviews The Siren of Paris

Posted on November 21, 2012 by quirkybookandfilmbuff

Author, reviewer, and blogger Rebecca Graf shares her review of The Siren of Paris, at A Book Blogger’s Library:  http://www.abookloverslibrary.com/29/post/2012/11/the-siren-of-paris-a-book-review.html

Here’s a snippet:

The extensive research is obvious as one sits in an art class, watches the masses running from the bombers, and the dead floating in the sea. One would think they were there trying to save lives by pretending not to be part of the Resistance and dealing the ghosts that haunt your every waking moment.

The characters are well-developed with layers upon layers for the reader to dive through. Just when you have one pegged, another layer is revealed toward the soul. This is not a romance story. This is not a story of occupied France. This is the story of one man drawn to his country of birth and the people who have become his family while holding his own past against himself. It is the story of a soul’s struggle to let go and

David Leroy Explores the Emotional Impact of Researching WWII

Posted on July 19, 2012 by quirkybookandfilmbuff

Joanne at Jo-Jo Loves to Read hosts David LeRoy, who talks about his first novel, The Siren of Paris. LeRoy did extensive research for this book about the German occupation of France and the French resistance, learning what life was like for ordinary people trapped by the war. In this article, he talks about the intense emotional impact of doing this research. Here is a snippet:

Once I got past the clichés and well known aspects of the war, and down to personal stories, I was even more shocked.  The main image I’d had of the French Resistance was blowing up trains and smuggling things, and I had the impression that it was a well organized underground movement.  However, this was not accurate.  In the early days of the resistance, it was nothing more than everyday people, who were taking extraordinary risks to pass out papers, or smuggle downed airmen.  Many of these people did not survive the war.  None of them were trained by a secret British Intelligence group or working spies.  They were students, teachers, ministers, housewives, and retired people.  Yes, people in retirement, engaging in smuggling downed airmen out of Paris and running back and forth to the border.  Not some handsome, slick and sexy 23-year old-man from Hollywood, but two women in their mid-60’s with three dogs and a black Renault taking hand-offs from a Catholic priest in the north.  At least until they were caught.  The American woman was traded back to America as a spy, the Catholic priest went to Mauthausen Concentration Camp where he died, and the British woman was shot.

Debut Author David Leroy Is Guest Blogger at Historical Tapestry

Posted on July 9, 2012 by quirkybookandfilmbuff

Debut author David LeRoy visited Historical Tapestry, sharing a guest post titled “Why I Love Ocean Liners.” He discussed how, while doing background research for his World War II novel The Siren of Paris, he learned about a little known historical event: the sinking of the RMS Lancastria, a small one stack Cunard liner that took on over 7,000 British soldiers and civilian refugees on June 17th, 1940. The exact number is unknown, because they stopped counting at 7,000. This tragedy was covered up by the British government. In his guest post, Leroy also talks about why ocean liners fascinate him. Please visit Historical Tapestry and read the article here: http://historicaltapestry.blogspot.com/2012/07/why-i-love-ocean-liners-by-david-leroy.html.
