The Dressmaker's Secret by Lorna Cook
4.0

Interesting look into the life of Coco Chanel during WWII France. The story is told by the granddaughter, living in present day, and the grandmother, who is Chanel's assistant. Cook delves into the lives of the Nazi sympathizers, such as Chanel, and the resistors, the grandmother, and the forces that pushed them into those rolls. Recommended for readers looking for the personal stories of innocent people caught in an ugly war.
