About the author
Kristin Harmel is an American novelist and former magazine journalist. Her recent historical fiction frequently moves between the Second World War and a later generation confronting family secrets, lost records, or displaced objects.
The Book of Lost Names, The Forest of Vanishing Stars, The Paris Daughter, and The Stolen Life of Colette Marceau connect research into wartime Europe with stories of identity, resistance, memory, and survival.
Where to start
Start with The Stolen Life of Colette Marceau for a Parisian jewel thief and restitution story, or The Book of Lost Names for coded records used during the Holocaust.
