The only way to describe reading this book is to say I was completely swept away. An independent and fierce heroine during a time when women were recruited to join the war efforts of WWII and then told to go back to the kitchen once the war was over. Alix is everything I would‘ve hoped for myself had I been born back then and everything I hope for my own daughter even now. Book #4 in 2024

Allthebookclubs My entire review: The only way to describe reading this book is to say I was completely swept away. It features an independent and fierce heroine during a time when women were recruited to join the war efforts of WWII and then told to go back to the kitchen once the war was over. 10mo
Allthebookclubs Alix St. Pierre was orphaned young, raised in boarding school through charity, trust into the secret world of the American OSS, and then took over the fashion scene in France working with Christian Dior. Alix is everything I would‘ve hoped for myself had I been born back then and everything I hope for my own daughter even now. 10mo

23 #9 This book was slow. But I did finally become invested enough in the characters to care about the ending.

This was an astonishing read! I loved how Lester weaved in fashion and the beginning of Christian Dior into this historical WWII fiction book. It‘s amazing how you forgot the “fiction” aspect of this story until you read the Author Note and get to peek behind the curtain to find out what was real and what was altered or made up. I don‘t think it‘s one I would re-read, so maybe a #borrowdontbuy - but worth reading 👍
