Based on true accounts of how Parisiennes resisted the Nazi
occupation in World War II-from fashion houses to the city
streets-comes a story of two courageous women who risked everything
to fight an evil they couldn't abide. Paris, 1939. Maison Chanel
has closed, thrusting haute couture dressmaker Lila de Laurent out
of the world of high fashion as Nazi soldiers invade the streets
and the City of Lights slips into darkness. Lila's life is now a
series of rations, brutal restrictions, and carefully controlled
propaganda while Paris is cut off from the rest of the world. Yet
in hidden corners of the city, the faithful pledge to resist. Lila
is drawn to La Resistance and is soon using her skills as a
dressmaker to infiltrate the Nazi elite. She takes their
measurements and designs masterpieces, all while collecting secrets
in the glamorous Hotel Ritz-the heart of the Nazis' Parisian
headquarters. But when dashing Rene Touliard suddenly reenters her
world, Lila finds her heart tangled between determination to help
save his Jewish family and bolstering the fight for liberation.
Paris, 1943. Sandrine Paquet's job is to catalog the priceless
works of art bound for the Fuhrer's Berlin, masterpieces stolen
from prominent Jewish families. But behind closed doors, she
secretly forages for information from the underground resistance.
Beneath her compliant facade lies a woman bent on uncovering the
fate of her missing husband . . . but at what cost? As Hitler's
regime crumbles, Sandrine is drawn in deeper when she uncrates an
exquisite blush Chanel gown concealing a cryptic message that may
reveal the fate of a dressmaker who vanished from within the
fashion elite. Told across the span of the Nazi occupation, The
Paris Dressmaker highlights the brave women who used everything in
their power to resist darkness and restore light to their world.
Praise for The Paris Dressmaker: "Unimaginable heartache,
unforgettable romance, and cheering defiance against the oppression
the Nazis inflicted on Paris; readers will be swept away into a
story where battle-scarred good at last rings victory over evil."
-J'nell Ciesielski, author of The Socialite "Stunning. With as much
skill and care as the title's namesake possesses, The Paris
Dressmaker weaves together the stories of two heroines who boldly
defy the darkness that descends on the City of Light." -Jocelyn
Green, Christy Award-winning author of Shadows of the White City
"With real life historical details woven in with her fictional
tale, the story popped off the page. Readers will be thinking of
this book long after they've read the last word." -Rachel Hauck,
New York Times bestselling author Stand-alone World War II
