She is the author of nine published historical novels. Her debut, The Anatomist’s Apprentice, won the Romantic Times First Best Mystery Award 2012 in the US. She lectures in creative writing at Hawkwood College, Stroud and is married with two children. She lives in the Cotswolds. This is where Katja meets and seeks safe harbour with Sylvia the owner of a Paris bookstore called 'Shakespeare and Company' and Daniel Keenan an Irish journalist appointed the role and responsibility to publish the notebook and reveal it's secrets in the attempt to stop the Nazis and War. This WWII historical fiction centres around Adolf Hitler’s mysteriously missing psychiatric file from the time he was admitted to hospital following First World War injuries. This story of espionage provides conjecture on what may have happened to the notes and the people who had knowledge about the case. Before reading the book I was not aware of these notes, but was so fascinated that midway through the book, I looked up whether they had existed and had ever been published! Running alongside this main plot is a romance, although I would say this is very much a minor subplot - I personally didn't feel the chemistry between Katja and Daniel, but it was a nice addition to the story nonetheless. Katja is a typist for Doctor Viktor's office. When she comes across some of the psychological records of a young man treated after the Great War, and watches in horror as he continues gaining political power. She and the doctor decide the public needs to be aware of his mental health issues, but Nazi Germany will do anything to stop them from publishing his records. The notes in his possession declare Hitler unfit for office - a secret that could destroy the Fuhrer's reputation, and change the course of the war if exposed. . .

After Katja and Dr. Viktor arrived in Paris and had settled into their separate rooms at the hotel, Katja ventured out to the Shakespeare and Company bookshop. It was there that Katja met Sylvia Beach, the owner and Daniel Keenan, a journalist originally from Ireland. Both Daniel and Katja were immediately drawn to each other. There was an instant attraction between the two of them but so much more. Daniel harbored a tragic past, though. He was unable to let it go and the only thing that masked it was liquor. That afternoon, Katja was drawn to Daniel in a way that she had never been drawn to anyone else. Daniel impressed Katja with his knowledge of literature and authorships. She didn’t want their time together to end. How silly of her! They had just met. What did she know about him? This was such a well written, fast-paced novel that I flew through it in a few hours. Katja is such a strong inspiring character who is willing to go to great lengths to do what is right. Following her journey against all odds, we become invested in her success. This was beautifully written and elements of love, loss and friendship are so delicately interwoven that your emotions are assailed even more.Katja gets a job with Dr Victor ( a psychiatrist) who divulges to her his secret work on the mental health records of Adolf Hitler.

A wonderfully written, lovely paced book . I read late into the night, couldn't wait to see what happened.’ NetGalley reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Any issues with the book list you are seeing? Or is there an author or series we don’t have? Let me know!

She meets Daniel in Paris. After that, her life changes.... The notes in his possession declare Hitler unfit for office – a secret that could destroy the Führer’s reputation, and change the course of the war if exposed. . . Growing up in the United Kingdom, Tessa Harris always had a keen passion for the written word from an early age, something which she took through into adulthood. Always looking for some new material she was never short of ideas for her next novel, as she’s take in inspiration from the world around, giving her characters a sense of believability whatever time-period they had been placed in. This was something that was derived from her down-to-earth nature which can be seen reflected in her work, as it remains relatable to both her and her many scores of readers.

Sometimes I hate myself for feeling like I need to finish a book when I don't really have to. This book dragged on and on and if it wasn't for my inability to let go of it, I would've stopped reading halfway through.From the first words, the unfolding events of the story capture and carry you away with a fair strong wind, as if you are in an aspiring train rushing to the distant 1939. You are transported to Hamburg, Germany, completely forgetting who you are and where you are now. The Paris Notebook was fast paced and impeccably researched. This was the first book that I had read by Tessa Harris but it will not be the last. I will definitely be on the lookout for more books by her. The Paris Notebook was about family, love, friendships, loyalty, taking risks, determination, betrayal, exposure and dedication. Although, Katja’s and Daniel’s characters were purely fictional, I really enjoyed them. Dr. Viktor’s character was based on an actual doctor of psychiatry and a notebook actually existed. Many of the places mentioned in The Paris Notebook existed as did the artists and authors that were mentioned. I loved the ending! If you enjoy good historical fiction based on true events, then I recommend The Paris Notebook very highly. The Paris Notebook was published on February 15, 2023. Medical records and psychological evaluations reflected the mental deficiencies of Hitler and could be used for his demise if the right hands get the information. A mix of danger, suspense, mystery, romance and heartbreaking choices make for a story I would definitely recommend. ’ NetGalley reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Katja is now suffering the effects of the war and now she has to find a job to be able to survive not knowing she was about to work for some nazi that will make her transcribe many things that she was not supposed to know or understand, some classify papers that can easily make her life a living hell.
