An iconic city under siege during World War II and the bravery of two
women who joined the Resistance to save it . . .
Paris, 1939. The closing of Maison Chanel thrusts haute couture
dressmaker Lila de Laurent out of the world of high fashion and into
occupation as Nazi soldiers invade the streets and the City of Lights
slips into darkness. Lila’s fight for survival turns into a series of
rations, brutal restrictions, and carefully controlled propaganda that
sees Paris 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 Hôtel Ritz—the heart of the Nazis’
Parisian headquarters. But when dashing René Touliard suddenly reenters
her world, Lila finds her heart tangled in the determination to help
save his Jewish family and bolster the fight for liberation.
Paris, 1943. While cataloguing priceless works of art stolen from
prominent Jewish families and on trains bound for the Führer’s ranks in
Berlin, Sandrine Paquet secretly forages information for the
underground resistance. Beneath her compliant façade lies a woman bent
on uncovering her missing husband’s fate . . . but at what cost? As
Hitler’s regime crumbles, Sandrine in drawn in deeper when she uncrates
an exquisite blush Chanel gown concealing a cryptic message that may
tell the fate of a dressmaker who’s vanished from within the fashion
elite.
Based on true accounts of how Parisiennes resisted the Nazi
occupation—from fashion houses to the city streets—The Paris Dressmaker
weaves a story of two courageous women who risked everything to fight
an evil they couldn’t abide.
