The Queen of Paris: A Novel of Coco Chanel
by Pamela Binnings Ewen
This a story about Coco Chanel and her collaboration with the Nazi Regime that Occupied Paris. Regardless Of the glitz and glamour Coco had a lonely and selfish life. Some people believe this way of living is a way to survive but, in my opinion, she was traitor. And as a strong believer in karma I think she well deserved the lonely life she had.
What everyone know about Coco Chanel is different from what her real life was about. Coco’s resiliency to beat poverty is admirable however I don’t think being abandoned by her father and all the difficulties she went through in her life, gives her the permission to betray her country.
As much as I disliked the main character, I was eager to read the book. the story is very well researched and creatively penned. It is a very well transcribed historical fiction and the author did an amazing job with the plot. It is very difficult to dislike the main character yet wanting to read the story and find it interesting.
