Legendary fashion designer Coco
Chanel is revered for her sophisticated style--the iconic little black
dress--and famed for her intoxicating perfume Chanel No. 5. Yet behind the
public persona is a complicated woman of intrigue, shadowed by mysterious
rumors. The Queen of Paris, the new novel from award-winning author Pamela
Binnings Ewen, vividly imagines the hidden life of Chanel during the four years
of Nazi occupation in Paris in the midst of WWII--as discovered in recently
unearthed wartime files.
Coco Chanel could be cheerful,
lighthearted, and generous; she also could be ruthless, manipulative, even
cruel. Against the winds of war, with the Wehrmacht marching down the Champs-�lys�es,
Chanel finds herself residing alongside the Reich's High Command in the Hotel
Ritz. Surrounded by the enemy, Chanel wages a private war of her own to wrestle
full control of her perfume company from the hands of her Jewish business
partner, Pierre Wertheimer. With anti-Semitism on the rise, he has escaped to
the United States with the confidential formula for Chanel No. 5. Distrustful
of his intentions to set up production on the outskirts of New York City,
Chanel fights to seize ownership. The House of Chanel shall not fall.
While Chanel struggles to keep
her livelihood intact, Paris sinks under the iron fist of German rule.
Chanel--a woman made of sparkling granite--will do anything to survive. She
will even agree to collaborate with the Nazis in order to protect her darkest
secrets. When she is covertly recruited by Germany to spy for the Reich, she
becomes Agent F-7124, code name: Westminster. But why? And to what lengths will
she go to keep her stormy past from haunting her future?
