bibliotequeish 's review for:
The Queen of Paris: A Novel of Coco Chanel
by Pamela Binnings Ewen
While I really enjoyed this book, I have to wonder how much of it is factual.
That's not the authors fault. Anytime I read a book about someone written as a novel and not a biography, in the back of my mind I always have ... questions.
It was an informative read, I learned a lot about Chanel and this book definitely piqued my interest about her role with the Nazis. Definitely a subject I will look into.
I thought the writing was good but at times long winded. I felt as tho I read the phrase "No. 5 is mine" about a hundred times.
And as this was all at the beginning of the book so it took a while for me to get into it.
All in all I think this is a solid 3.5 - 4 star book.
