Paperback copy of The Lost Girls of Paris by Pam Jenoff. Cover is black with a woman in 1940s clothes facing away looking out a clock face at a sunset sky with war planes with Paris below (likely the view from what's now the Musee D'Orsay, if I had to guess). Title in white letters at the bottom of the cover.

Leandra the TBR Zero's Map of Stories has challenged me to expand my genres. I'm slowly working my way through The Lost Girls of Paris by Pam Jenoff. I'm enjoying it, but I'm worried about the emotional impact at the end!
