The Queen of Paris: A Novel of Coco Chanel | 
pickThis book is all about Coco Channel's experience in Paris during WWII. It shows what a trecherous place it was and how she managed to navigate the trials and pitfalls. I felt it showed a different side of surviving the war. Very well done!

pick‘The Queen of Paris‘ follows Coco Chanel‘s life during the four years of Nazi occupation in Paris. Ewen brought Coco alive & had me asking several times, what I would have done, were I in Coco‘s shoes. I had the pleasure of asking Pamela a few questions about her book & writing process. The interview is up on the blog.

pickA novel about the dynamic Coco Chanel. This story takes place during the four years of German occupation of Paris. And it revolves heavily around her perfume No. 5 and how she battled keeping control of her fragrance. Rich with historic detail I feel this is a solid 4.5 ⭐️ read.
so-soThis was ok. It's kind of slow. It's also centered around Chanel's life during World War II, which isn't exactly the fun and glamorous part of her story.
I read an #ARC from #Netgalley. This has already been published. I'm way behind.

Almost forgot to tag @Buechersuechtling Thanks for including me!
1. Perseverance (Coco Chanel does whatever she can to succeed.)
2. No. But I've been filling out too many #goodreads giveaways so they keep turning up regardless. I do want the 4th Alex Hawke spy thriller but I'm behaving for now.

This book tells the story of Coco Chanel and her life during the Nazi occupation of Paris. The author uses flashbacks to fill in the details of her early life. Basically the book posits that Coco worked for the Nazis during the war. She lived in the Ritz hotel, where all the high ranking Nazis stayed. ⬇️
pickI have been a little torn over this book. While on one hand I loved learning all about Coco Chanel but I felt at times it was a bit lengthy in places. Coco is a wonderfully strong woman who despite very humble beginnings becomes quite a force in the fashion world. Using her intellect & status she was able to comfortably live in occupied France right in the nest of many powerful Nazis.
