kfish3 's review for:

2.0

The Queen of Paris by Pamela Binnings Ewen is a free NetGalley ebook that I read in late February.

Initially quite wistfully ego-some as it switches between 1st and 3rd person narration (usually when recounting memories), Chanel is doted after, coddled, even in wartime, and goes through first-world problems that might be fifth-world to anyone else, when she's sought out by well-known names and dignitaries, and oversees the fate of her prized No. 5 perfume.
