Although I enjoyed this book, I wish
Blanche and Claude had shared their secrets and that we hadn’t had to wait for practically the last pages for them to finally be honest and truthful with each other
! Blanche did annoy me a little, but it was interesting to read about Paris during the occupation, and the role of the Ritz.
