  • "From the outside, Michael Roth, a handsome but guarded, quietly spoken young man looks every inch a Parisian student. But what no one can see is his painful secret, one that even he cannot reveal to the woman he loves. For Michael is no ordinary Frenchman but a German, sent to Paris to assist the Nazis in dealing with Resistance fighters. Desperate to escape his daily life, he steals into the world of the oppressed Parisians, and into the path of Chantal. But as Michael falls for the bookseller's beautiful daughter, he discovers his past catching up with him. Soon he will be forced to make the ultimate sacrifice - to choose between his country, his life and his destiny."@en

  • "Set in 1943, April in Paris is the dramatic story of an impossible love between a German soldier and a French Resistance fighter in occupied Paris. Roth, a twenty-one-year-old German soldier, has spent most of his time in occupied Paris working in the army's back offices. But when his superiors learn of his ability to speak accent-free French, he is abruptly transferred to Gestapo headquarters to work as an interpreter during the interrogation of Resistance fighters. Rather than question his role in the Nazi regime, Roth translates with impeccable accuracy as the torture proceeds. But when his duty ends, Roth slips away from his fellow officers, changes into civilian clothes, and wanders aimlessly through Paris disguised as his alter ego "Antoine." One day he is drawn into an antiquarian bookshop and becomes enchanted with the bookseller's beautiful daughter, Chantal."@en
