ssaaron 's review for:
The Queen of Paris: A Novel of Coco Chanel
by Pamela Binnings Ewen
Admittedly, I am surprised that I somehow rated this book 4 stars when I really found myself despising the main character, particularly knowing what was happening in the background of the story in France and Germany during World War II. Despite this, to me it was still a fascinating look at how she may have interacted and survived at the Ritz in Paris during that entire time. I find myself comparing her to Scarlett O’Hara type character: a woman who somehow survives and perseveres no matter how many people she takes down in the process intentionally or not. I still found myself turning on the audiobook whenever I had a few minutes to listen just to hear what she was up to next and how she was going to get through this seemingly unscathed.
