I’ve read this book during summer vacation and it was nice, easy to read biographical novel. I really like the fact that I was able not only to read about the main characters but also about other big names of the time, in Paris and world as a whole. The book follows the story of Jeanne and portraits her journey of becoming a fashion icon, her friendships, lovers and life in general. This is one of rare nonfiction/real stories that really kept my interest throughout the book and I’ve learned a lot about bourgeoisie in the WW2. I was really happy to read about Coco Chanel and a bunch of familier names. All in all interesting and twisted novel about history, romance, women in war, jewelry and life. If you read this book you will not only have a chance to dive into dinamic lives of bourgeoisie in Paris, but also learn a lot about France and it’s state during the war.
