Vuelve la autora best seller de Las 999 mujeres de Auschwitz.
La conmovedora historia real de una joven judÃa y un poeta de la Resistencia francesa, en el ParÃs ocupado por los nazis.
ParÃs, 1940. En plena ocupación alemana, el arte, la cultura y el jazz se han convertido en actos de desafÃo. También lo es el romance prohibido entre Annette Zelman, una judÃa estudiante de Bellas Artes, y el joven poeta católico Jean Jausion, tras conocerse en el famoso Café de Flore, entre cuyos clientes desfilan personajes como Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre, Pablo Picasso o Django Reinhardt. Durante un tiempo, Annette y Jean creen eludir a los nazis, asà como la vigilancia y las amenazas de sus familias, pero el destino juega en su contra. Una impresionante historia real de belleza, arte y liberación contra los horrores del Holocausto, en la que el poder transformador del amor resuena como un poema de devoción eterna. Si Romeo y Julieta hubieran vivido en el ParÃs ocupado por los nazis, se habrÃan llamado Jean y Annette. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION For readers of The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah who are hungry for a non-fiction account of Nazi-occupied Paris, Star Crossed is an epic true story of love and resistance during WWII from the award-winning author of 999. Part historical portrait of life during the Occupation, part valentine to The City of Light and the resilience of its people, this true love story follows the romance between the Romeo and Juliet of war-torn Paris - a Catholic Resistance fighter and a Holocaust victim who meet at the famous Café Flore before war, prejudice, and disapproving families set them on divergent and tragically inevitable paths.

What a beautiful, heartbreaking story. - Erica Robuck, National Bestselling Author of Sisters of Night and Fog
Paris, 1940. The City of Light has fallen under German occupation. Among patriotic Parisians, the pursuit of art, culture, and jazz has become a bold act of defiance. So has forbidden love for talented and spirited Jewish teenager Annette Zelman, a student at the Beaux-Arts, and dashing young Catholic poet Jean Jausion. Despite their devout families' vehement opposition, the young couple finds acceptance at the famed Café de Flore, whose habitues include Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre, Pablo Picasso, Django Reinhardt, and other luminaries of the Latin Quarter. For a time, Annette and Jean feel they have eluded the brute might of the relentless Nazis -- and more immediately, their parents' threats and demands. But as restrictions on the Jewish community escalate to arrests and deportations, the maleficent forces gathering around the young lovers set them on divergent and tragically inevitable paths. Drawn from never-before-published family letters and other treasures, as well as archival sources and exclusive interviews, Star-Crossed offers us precious insight into the Holocaust and the lives French people bravely led under the Hitler regime. This breathtaking true story of beauty, art, liberation, and the transformative power of love resonates with an intimate story of undying devotion, seen through the prism of history.
