Summary

In Nazi-occupied France, an American film star takes on the most dangerous role of her life in a gripping novel about loyalty and resistance, inspired by a true story, from the Washington Post and Amazon Charts bestselling author of The Secret Stealers.

Paris, 1939. Hollywood actress Drue Leyton, married to Frenchman Jacques Tartière, lives as an expatriate in love. But when her husband is dispatched to Brittany to work as a liaison for the British military, Drue finds herself alone with her housekeeper, adrift and heartsick in her adopted city. With her career and fame forty-five hundred miles away, Drue accepts an opportunity that will change her life forever.

Befriended by seasoned wartime journalist Dorothy Thompson and urged on by political operative Jean Fraysse, Drue broadcasts radio programs to the United States. Her duty: shake America from its apathy and, as Nazis encroach and France is occupied, push for resistance and help from the US. As Drue and Jean fall under suspicion, Hitler sends his own message: when Drue’s adopted country is conquered, she will be executed.

In a Paris that is no longer safe, Drue’s political passion is ignited. She’s prepared to risk anything to fight the enemy no matter how dangerous it gets—for her, for everyone she loves, and for everything she’s fighting for.

Critic reviews

"An inspirational story for those who chose to fight evil rather than flee. Highly recommended.”Historical Novels Review

“In Goodnight from Paris, Jane Healey reels readers in to the inspiring tale of real-life Hollywood actress Drue Leyton Tartière, when she leaves acting for a Frenchman and becomes part of the Resistance in Nazi-occupied France. Drue’s courageous actions—engaging in dangerous work, broadcasting radio programs designed to prompt America to action and then assisting in the escape of over a hundred Allied pilots—are riveting, and through the pages of this novel, will finally be better known.”—Marie Benedict, New York Times bestselling author of The Other Einstein, The Only Woman in the Room, and Her Hidden Genius

“In Goodnight from Paris, Jane Healey illuminates the fascinating story of Drue Leyton, the Hollywood starlet turned Resistance heroine. Combining romance, adventure, friendship, betrayal, and redemption, Healey weaves a heady, larger-than-life tale against the vivid backdrop of France during the Second World War.”—Pam Jenoff, New York Times bestselling author of Code Name Sapphire

Absolutely shocking

The story is pretty dull anyway but this narrator is quite possibly the worst and there are some terrible ones on Audible.

She makes it like an episode of Allo Allo with her ridiculous accents. Has she ever heard any French person speak English like she tries to imitate? Don’t bother buying this unless you like silly accents and facile stories.
