My guest this week is author Janet Skeslien Charles. Janet’s latest novel, “The Paris Library” was an instant New York Times, Washington Post and USA Today bestseller. It’s a #1 Indie Next Pick, a Library Reads and Lonestar selection, a Book Reporter Best Bet, and is currently a Finalist for Best Historical Fiction for 2021 on Goodreads.

“The Paris Library” is based on the true story of the heroic librarians of the American Library in Paris during World War II. It’s a beautiful novel, told through two timelines, that weaves together romance, mystery, betrayal, the love of books, libraries and librarians, and the power of unexpected friendship. In our interview, Janet shares her passion for Paris, her inspiration for “The Paris Library” and the characters within, and her reverence for the women of the Resistance.

About Us
Since well before Victor Hugo looked up at Notre Dame and thought, "Huh... what if a hunchback lived in there?" authors have been inspired by Paris. The Storytime in Paris podcast will help keep this tradition alive with short interviews and readings from your favorite contemporary authors with a French connection.
 
Every episode will feature five questions, asked by you, our authors' biggest fans, and answered live on air. Then, our authors will treat us to a reading of an excerpt from their book. Who knows? Maybe you'll even be inspired to write your own Great French Novel. Happy listening!
