She has barely recovered from being seriously ill and because of almost dying does she want to explore more of life and not sitting home feeling sorry for herself after her ex-fiancé married someone else.

She has barely recovered from being seriously ill and because of almost dying does she want to explore more of life and not sitting home feeling sorry for herself after her ex-fiancé married someone else. Everyone thinks that she dump him because he was injured in the war, but the truth is that they both agreed to split since they didn't love each other. Her parents have agreed to Helena living one year with her eccentric aunt in Paris and Helena has enrolled in a famous art school there.

This book is a follow-up to After the War is Over (which is a follow-up to Somewhere in Paris), but this book can be read as a standalone.

I usually like historical fiction that takes place in the 1920s, but this book just didn't make an impact on me. There are a couple of things with the book that just didn't appeal to me. For instance, I couldn't really find myself warming up to the main character Helena, nor Sam Howard the journalist she meets in France. I just found their relationship uninteresting and their personal struggles trivial. Sam has some secrets that he doesn't want to talk about and it takes a while for Helena to learn more about him. And, Helena's struggle to become an artist felt really insignificant compared to real people's struggle. I mean she is rich, or her aunt and parents are rich, she is enrolled in a great art school. It's not like she has to live day for day wondering if she will be able to eat something. She's just yearning to do something with her life, but unfortunately, she's just so uninteresting to read about. I think my problem is that I like stronger characters, with determination and character. The only one in this book that actually was interesting was her aunt. Oh, I would have loved to have read a book about her past. But, Helena, well nothing really goes against her in the book, it's just her lack of confidence that over and over rears its ugly head.

There are some famous people making cameo appearances in this book now and then and usually, that will thrill me, but not even that made me enjoy the book. That's a sure sign that there is something amiss with the book for me when usual things that appeal to me fail to do so.

But the real problem with the book is Helena and Sam. No passion, it's like one of those Hollywood movies when they put two actors together with no chemistry. The whole thing is usually just awkward to see or in this case to read. Neither of the characters memorable and that makes their romance dull to read about.

So, would I recommend this book? Well, perhaps if you are not as picky as me, then this would work for you. Or it would work if you are a greater lover of historical romance than me, which perhaps is the case. I must admit. I usually tend to stay away from historical romance because they seldom work for me. Unless they are based on real people. That I love!

I want to thank the publisher for providing me with a free copy for an honest review!

I was attracted to the novel because I enjoy early twentieth century stories set in Europe, and the Lost Generation, although captured many times in books, was a beacon of creativity and liveliness, and always ripe for the imagination. The author’s stats were also very impressive, and I was hoping for a story of substance. Although Robson writes clean, well-parsed sentences, I was disappointed in the formulaic, anodyne, and too-familiar story. The entire tale was predictable to me, and the chara ...more

I adored this book. Like Robson's previous novels, Moonlight Over Paris is meticulously researched and beautifully written. But there is something particularly irresistible about Paris in the 1920s. I cheered for Helena and Sam - for their relationship with each other, but also for each character's development from a citizen of the pre-war world into an individual of the modern age. Robson handles these vast social transitions with the subtlety and care of a serious historian - which, of course, ...more

This is the third installment of the series of The Great War. Going in, I wasn't that enthusiastic to read it because Helena had been such a minor character in the second book that I didn't feel any connection to her. I had no sense of wanting to see what happened next in her life.

And during the first couple of chapters that thought was pretty much proven out. After a near fatal illness, she decided to get away from the rumor mill and go live with her aunt in France. She also planned to attend a ...more

This book just reinforced why Robson is an autobuy for me. I gobbled it up and am eagerly awaiting her next release.

From the moment Helena set foot on the train from Calais, I was hooked. Robson's incredibly well-researched and evocative descriptions are paired with a lovely, independent heroine. Paris is as much of a setting as Helena, Sam, Aunt Agnes, and Helena's friends, and the addition of real-life artists and writers add a lovely sense of glamour.

On the face of it, "MOONLIGHT OVER PARIS" can be seen as a continuation of Jennifer Robson's 2 previous historical novels: (1) 'Somewhere in France: A Novel of the Great War'; and (2) 'After the War is Over'. Yet, it can also be regarded as a stand alone novel for anyone who comes to it without having read the 2 aforesaid novels.

Yet, it can also be regarded as a stand alone novel for anyone who comes to it without having read the 2 aforesaid novels.

Lady Helena Montagu-Douglas-Parr (aka Helena Parr, Helena, or "Ellie" by her closest friends) figures prominently here. In the previous 2 novels, she was largely a peripheral figure, engaged to Edward Neville-Ashford, a young aristocrat and wounded war veteran who loomed large in both of those novels. Edward had broken off their engagement to marry a woman of humbler origins whom he really loved. It was a rupture that carried a certain social fallout for Helena in London, tainting her as if she were a fallen woman. In the beginning of this novel, we find her on the slow road to recovery at her parents' estate from an outbreak of scarlet fever that had nearly killed her. Having been so close to death, she vowed to herself that she would try to make a better life for herself on her own terms. As part of that process, Helena applies for admission to an art academy in Paris, whose classes are slated to start in the autumn of the following year. She is able to go to France for a year, with her parents' permission, where her Aunt Agnes (aka 'Auntie A') - a widow of bohemian sensibilities with a wide social circle - has residences in Paris and Antibes and can provide both a place for Helena to stay and a large measure of familial protection and support.

Helena arrives in Paris via the ferry and train in the spring of 1924. It is her first time in Paris in a decade. She is now in a country that is determined to shake off the heavy shadows through which it has been cast since the end of the First World War. Helena proceeds by train to Antibes in the South of France, where she meets with her aunt and goes on to spend a restful and exciting summer on the beaches and along the Mediterranean shore. (Unlike today, the South of France was not a tourist haven in the summer until the mid-1920s. Indeed, hotels there would close as people travelled north in search of cooler places away from the full glare of the sun.) She goes on to have a lot of interesting experiences, rubbing shoulders with some of the people who figured prominently as part of the "Lost Generation" of American expatriates (e.g . Gerald and Sara Murphy, Ernest & Hadley Hemingway, Natalie Barney, Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas, Djuna Barnes, and F. Scott & Zelda Fitzgerald) who lived large in Europe. Helena also finds love - when she least expects it - through a chance encounter with an American journalist (Sam Howard) on a road near Antibes, who stops his car one hot, sunny afternoon and offers to fix the chain on her bike, which had become disconnected. But as with most love stories, the course of true love doesn't run smooth for both of them.

"MOONLIGHT OVER PARIS" is a terrific novel, not only for any reader eager to enjoy a good book over the summer, but also for those fans of Downton Abbey and compelling love stories seeking escape from the hectic demands of work and everyday life. ...more

Moonlight Over Paris is vibrant in setting and history. 1920s Paris comes alive under Jennifer Robson’s pen! The bond between an unlikely group of friends kept me invested in the story even when I found the main character herself difficult to relate to. Cameos from actual “influencers” of the time period intrigue and inspire further study of their lives. While beautifully crafted sentences drape every page, I do feel the book to be lacking a dimensionality that I could truly embrace. Likewise, s ...more

Moonlight Over Paris takes place in the mid-twenties. I felt like Helena was a little bit like Edith from Downton Abbey, only a little more spunky. She really took charge of her life after her illness. I especially liked how hard she worked for what she wanted.

The second book which I have yet to read is “After the War is Over”. This novel, “Moonlight Over Paris” is the third in the series. As the trilogy rolls out, Robson pulls a character with a small role in one novel to be the main character in the following one. I like to read things in order but in this case Robson has written each book as When I picked up this book I did not realize it was the final book of a three part trilogy. The first book which I read and enjoyed was “Somewhere in France”. The second book which I have yet to read is “After the War is Over”. This novel, “Moonlight Over Paris” is the third in the series. As the trilogy rolls out, Robson pulls a character with a small role in one novel to be the main character in the following one. I like to read things in order but in this case Robson has written each book as a complete story unto itself so it stands easily on its own. Each tells a story about The Great War or its aftermath, focusing on a small group of younger members of the British upper classes.

The story opens with a young woman in sickbed fighting scarlet fever, at the time a life threatening infection. After that near death experience, Lady Helena vows to live a fuller more meaningful life, a life on her own terms. Known in London as Lady Helena Montagu-Douglas Parr, daughter of the Earl of Halifax, she yearns to leave the constraints of the aristocratic society in which she was raised and live simply as Helena Parr. She convinces her reluctant parents to allow her to spend a year in France to get away from all that she has suffered in the last five years, a humiliating broken engagement to Edward, Lord Cumberland that has left her criticized, shunned and the subject of malicious gossip in London society. She is now almost thirty and has given up on the idea of having a husband and family. She wants to be free, to leave her privileged life with its ever present maids and people hovering over her and move to Paris and become simply Helena Parr, a young woman living with her free spirited and unconventional Aunt Agnes. She wants to walk the streets and get to know the city, meet people who do not know her or her background and pursue her dream of learning to paint. Helena has always enjoyed picking up a pencil or a brush but she was inexperienced and self-taught. She believes she has some talent and the making of an artist buried somewhere inside her, but she is not certain it is really there or if she is just hoping it to be so. Nevertheless, she is anxious to shed her old life, uncertain of what she will become and unsure of her place in the world. But she knows she wants something more, something different from what her life has turned out to be. She wants to live her life and not simply exist.

In Paris, Helena’s dreams of becoming an artist are heartily supported by her Aunt, an unusual woman for her time who understands her niece’s yearning and supports her need to lead a different life than that of her family. Helena, finally on her own, is enjoying every single moment of the experience. She enrolls in a prestigious art school and begins lessons with Maitre Czerny, a tyrannical, demanding and stern teacher who is a bully, uninterested in his students’ opinions or questions. She meets three fellow students who quickly become fast friends: Etienne Moreau, a bold, talented, gay painter; Mathilde Renault, a young working class woman with a child and a husband damaged by the war who works two jobs so she can attend art school; Daisy Fields, a wealthy American living with her overprotective father who monitors her every move and Sam Howard a correspondent for the European edition of the Chicago Tribune who has been scarred by his experience in the war. She enters a world in which her birthright hardly matters and when her friends become aware of her privileged background they ignore it, because “aristocrats are a dime a dozen in Paris”.

Sam is different from any gentleman Helena has known in her past, a straight forward man with no pretenses. She is attracted to him but as their relationship develops she learns that his background is similar to her own, the one she has been trying to abandon. She feels betrayed and tries to distance herself from this romantic entanglement. She has come to Paris to escape her past not to run back into it.

During her time in the art school and the long hours she spends in the studio with her friends, Helena finds her footing as an artist and becomes more confident of her talent.

Robson pulls the reader into the bohemian life and heady allure of Paris, The City of Light in the 1920s. It was a time when a number of American expatriates, talented musicians, painters and writers flocked to the city to live cheaply, mingle with fellow artists, gather inspiration for new works and live a life free from traditional convention. Helena meets Hadley and Ernest Hemmingway, Gertrude Stein, Alice B Toklas, Sara and Gerard Murphy, and even feuding couple Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald, although the appearances of this couple seemed more like name dropping rather than a vehicle to move the narrative forward. Helena also gets to experience the salons of Paris where invited guests sample the company, the food and discussions about poetry, fiction, art and dance. There she sees original paintings of Cezanne, Matisse and Picasso lining the walls. She is happy to be free of the kind of conversations she would have had back in London about wandering husbands, quarterly allowances and problems with the help. Helena also has her first experience with the ultimate in high fashion when she visits a couturier with her Aunt who gifts her with her first haute couture gown.

Helena is likeable, but not a character who quickly draws the readers’ attention. I longed to like her and applauded her determination to seek a new life. But her character lacked depth and by the end of the novel I felt I hardly knew her. Her companions who come from interesting and very different backgrounds had so much potential to add interest to the story but were quickly passed over, their lives and characters only briefly explored. The bond between this unlikely group of friends was a key to Helena’s journey to find herself and could have been a strong part of the narrative. Even Sam remains a thinly described character rather than a passionate lover and his relationship with Helena never explored the depth of feelings they supposedly had for each other. As a couple they lacked compassion, their relationship it seemed, sketched from a distance. They exchanged many words, but with little emotion, making it difficult to connect with them as a romantic loving couple. When Helena suggests becoming Sam’s lover, the idea seemed misplaced. It was a leap in a relationship that had mostly simmered rather than burned. Admittedly Helena’s transformation is the center of the story and Robson may have been trying to make certain Helen’s love life did not overtake that primary theme.

Robson is talented writer who brings all the atmosphere and rich detail needed to create a good historical novel. Some of the cameo appearances seem a little forced at times, especially the scene with the arguing Fitzgeralds, but others such as the interactions with Hadley and Ernest Hemmingway feel realistic and spot on.

The pace of the narrative is slow and never really gathers much steam, which may irritate some readers who long for things to pick up. But the course of Helena’s journey must necessarily be slow and subtle to make it realistic.

Despite my criticisms this is still an interesting and enjoyable read about a sheltered and privileged young woman who begins a journey to live the life she chooses, not the life chosen for her.
