The Queen of Paris: A Novel of Coco Chanel
by Pamela Binnings Ewen
The Queen of Paris is a historical fiction novel about the life of Coco Chanel in Paris during the height of WWII. I wanted to read this book because I didn't know much about Chanel. The research I did after reading the book suggests that the author was well researched in her writing of this book.
The book begins as Coco Chanel is faced with the theft of the recipe for her most famous product, her perfume Chanel No. 5, To maintain her livelihood and hold onto the rights to her beloved fragrance, Coco makes some life changing decisions. The book gives flashbacks to Coco's childhood, which lends a clearer picture as to why she makes the decisions that she does.
I am grateful for the opportunity to read The Queen of Paris, and to gain a better understanding of the life of one of history's most iconic figures. Thank you to NetGalley, Blackstone Publishing and Pamela Binnings Ewen for the advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
