He spends his days at Gestapo headquarters, working as an interpreter during shocking interrogation sessions. Desperate to escape this world, by night he throws off his uniform, puts on civilian clothes, and freely roams the city's cobbled streets, mingling with ordinary Parisians under the pseudonym 'Antoine'. But in these chaotic times, no one can control their own fate. Michel's world is shattered when meets Chantal, a bookseller's daughter. He is captivated, and they fall in love before either has found the courage to reveal their true identity. For she is a member of the Resistance. When the truth is revealed, Michel's old loyalties crumble, and his co-operative role with the Nazis quickly turns into a fight for survival. Daring, romantic and of exceptional quality, APRIL IN PARIS is an extraordinary love story which will stay with you long after its final pages.

  When people on Paris's bustling streets look at Michael Roth, they see little more than a Parisian student, a quietly spoken young man with a book under his arm, handsome but guarded. What they do not realize is that he is carrying a painful secret, one that he cannot even reveal to the woman he loves. For Michael is no ordinary Frenchman but a German. He has been sent to Paris to assist the Nazis in dealing with Resistance fighters. Desperate to escape his daily life, he steals into the world of the oppressed Parisians, and into the path of Chantal. But as Michael falls for the bookseller's beautiful daughter, he discovers that a person's past always catches up with them. Soon he will be forced to make the ultimate sacrifice and choose between his country, his life and his destiny. Daring, romantic and of exceptional quality, April in Paris is an extraordinary love story which will stay with you long after its final pages.
