The World at Night is an edge-of-your-seat World War II tale of intrigue and espionage, set in the shadowy back streets and glittering salons of occupied Paris. Film producer Jean Casson, a Paris sophisticate, struggles to come to terms with the uncomfortable realities of life under German occupation, as he becomes caught up in the initial actions of what was to become the French Resistance.

liked the character, as he showed vulnerability and weakness not found in other Furst's novels. Very disappointed with ending which left questions, and was vague. This lack of description at the end scene does not match the thrillingly written adventures that make up the story.

exciting at times, slow start, let down at end

Descriptive, loving, captivating and SO well narrated. If you enjoy World War 2 history, romance, heartbreak and human nature--you will enjoy this book

Alan Furst has the lock on the tension and turmoil of Europe under the threat and under the control of the Naxis during the period from 1933 to 1941.

Furst's fourth Night Soldiers' novel switches narrators to Jean Casson, a French movie producer. He is a reluctant hero who is drawn into the secret war against the Nazi occupiers of France.

With 'The World at Night', Furst is able to again relate the way WWII impacted typical Europeans in ways that most fiction and nonfiction writers who focus on Europe's second world war seem to often miss or overlook.

A solid Furst novel, just not a great one. But take that with a grain of salt. Minor Furst novels (like le Carre) are often miles better than 9/10 of the historical spy fiction out there
