The Queen of Paris: A Novel of Coco Chanel by Pamela Binnings Ewen

2.0

---

I knew nothing of Coco Chanel before listening to this. I could not have any empathy for the main character, which makes it difficult to finish the book. She was entitled, and generally horrible. The author spun her story as a product of her circumstances, which usually was for her own self gain anyway. I only finished it because I wanted to see if Coco Chanel as a historical character had any redeeming qualities. Not really.
