The Three Lives of Alix St. Pierre by Natasha Lester

5.0

I love how Natasha Lester writes strong women. As with The Disappearance of Astrid Bricard, once I started this one, I devoured it. I did not want to put it down.

The story mainly focuses on Alix St. Pierre’s life during the Second World War, when she served as an American spy stationed in Switzerland, and after the war, when she worked as the head of publicity for House of Dior.

The 1943 and 1946 storylines are interwoven, with bits and pieces of the past coming to light and illuminating the why behind Alix’s actions and reactions during her time at Dior.

Honestly, I adore watching Natasha Lester’s characters take on the patriarchy. I loved the support system that Alix cultivates, the heightened sense of danger, the touch of mystery, and the love story that unfolds.

I can’t believe I sat on this one for so long. I’m eager to read my way through Lester’s backlist.

I received an advance copy of the ebook from Forever and NetGalley. All review opinions are my own.

If you are a fan of audiobooks, I highly recommend picking up this one. Barrie Kreinik’s narration is *chef’s kiss*.
