  Wartime Paris, 1943. Michel Roth is a softly spoken young man who suddenly finds himself leading a double life. 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.
