In occupied Paris, one woman risks everything to help bring down the Nazis.
Paris, 1940. The Nazis have occupied the city - and the Ritz. The opulent old hotel, so loved by Parisians, is now full of swaggering officers, their minions and their mistresses.
For American Olivia Olsen, working as a chambermaid at the hotel means denying her nationality and living a lie, every day bringing the danger of discovery closer. When Hitler’s right-hand man moves in and makes her his pet, she sees an opportunity to help the Resistance - and draw closer to Jack, her contact, whose brusque instructions may be a shield for something more....
Within the hotel, famed designer Coco Chanel quickly learns that the new regime could work to her benefit, while Arletty, one of France’s best-loved actresses, shocks those around her - and herself - with a forbidden love.
But as the war reaches its terrible end, all three women learn the true price of their proximity to the enemy. For in the shadow of war, is anyone truly safe?

Narration:
The narration by Karissa Vacker is excellent, her French American and German accents are wonderful, the emotion throughout the entire book was perfectly timed and her depiction of both men and women was perfection.
Olivia Olsen came to Paris to paint, she didn’t plan on falling in love or that her lover would fall victim to the Nazis early in the occupation because of his anti German writing. When they killed him she vowed to do anything she could to make them pay. So she became a spy for the allies and resistance.
Another historical gem by this wonderful author

Excellent story

For a WWII story it focuses less on the horrors of concentration camps and more on the relationships between Nazi officials and upper society collaboration while the resistance takes place right under their noses.
This is a good departure from the usual focus of the battlefield and the holocaust. I read many books about WWII and I find different angles to be interesting.
