Three spectacular narrators perform this captivating adventure with Paris’ Ritz hotel at its center. In 1964, Babs leaves the English countryside for Paris to find “La Fleur,” a French Resistance fighter. In 1942, Daisy helps her grandmother, a Ritz resident, with her wartime efforts as a courier. In 1914, Aurelie leaves the hotel’s safety and is trapped on the wrong side of the front. Ties between the women unfold, with the two world wars marking time. Nicola Barber is properly English as Babs; her composed, even tones during the day contrast with the slurred words of her drunken nights. Saskia Maarleveld’s Daisy has a soft, wavering, which is replaced by seductive and playful tones as she finds her footing in various missions. Helen Sadler depicts Aurelie’s pride in a confident and unwavering timbre. A.L.C. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine

France, 1914. As war breaks out, Aurelie becomes trapped on the wrong side of the front with her father, Comte Sigismund de Courcelles. When the Germans move into their family's ancestral estate, using it as their headquarters, Aurelie discovers she knows the German Major's aide de camp, Maximilian Von Sternburg. She and the dashing young officer first met during Aurelie's debutante days in Paris. Despite their conflicting loyalties, Aurelie and Max's friendship soon deepens into love, but betrayal will shatter them both, driving Aurelie back to Paris and the Ritz- the home of her estranged American heiress mother, with unexpected consequences.
France, 1942. Raised by her indomitable, free-spirited American grandmother in the glamorous Hotel Ritz, Marguerite “Daisy” Villon remains in Paris with her daughter and husband, a Nazi collaborator, after France falls to Hitler. At first reluctant to put herself and her family at risk to assist her grandmother's Resistance efforts, Daisy agrees to act as a courier for a skilled English forger known only as Legrand, who creates identity papers for Resistance members and Jewish refugees. But as Daisy is drawn ever deeper into Legrand's underground network, committing increasingly audacious acts of resistance for the sake of the country-and the man-she holds dear, she uncovers a devastating secret . . . one that will force her to commit the ultimate betrayal, and to confront at last the shocking circumstances of her own family history.
France, 1964. For Barbara “Babs” Langford, her husband, Kit, was the love of her life. Yet their marriage was haunted by a mysterious woman known only as La Fleur. On Kit's death, American lawyer Andrew “Drew” Bowdoin appears at her door. Hired to find a Resistance fighter turned traitor known as “La Fleur,” the investigation has led to Kit Langford. Curious to know more about the enigmatic La Fleur, Babs joins Drew in his search, a journey of discovery that that takes them to Paris and the Ritz-and to unexpected places of the heart. . . .
Perfect gift for fans of historical fiction, especially those interested in stories about women during wartime.
