The Stolen Life of Collette Marceau by Kristin Harmel is an interesting book to read. I found it quite difficult to put down! It contains 2 major storylines with one being during WWII and one being present day. Both storylines pulled me in and held my attention.
The main character was Collette Marceau who was a teenager during WWII and is an older adult in the present day. The story is about her, but it is much less simple than that. Colette Marceau is a shadowy figure that is slowly revealed as the story continues. She is a jewel thief, a resistance fighter, and a woman desperately wondering where her family is.
It is hard to describe the plot line of the novel, but it is not hard to read, to enjoy, to become so entranced with the characters that you feel you must know about everything. Her arrogance for demanding the truth at times borders on cruelty, but even that is expected. The novel is so well written that I truly enjoyed reading it. The Stolen Life of Collette Marceau by Kristin Harmel is a good read.
