Synopsis (from Goodreads):

New York Times bestselling author Natasha Lester delivers an unforgettable story of an orphan turned WWII spy turned fashion icon in Paris—perfect for fans of Kate Quinn and Fiona Davis.

1943.  After spearheading several successful advertising campaigns in New York, PR wizard Alix St. Pierre comes to the attention of the U.S. government and finds herself recruited into a fledgling intelligence organization.

Enlisted as a spy, Alix is sent to Europe where she is tasked with getting close to a Nazi who might be willing to help the Allied forces–but there’s also the chance he might be a double agent.

1946.  Following the war, Alix moves to Paris and takes a position as head of publicity for the yet-to-be-launched House of Dior. But when a figure from the war reappears and threatens to destroy her future, Alix realizes that only she can right the wrongs of the past and bring him to justice.

The Three Lives of Alix St. Pierre is a thrilling, sumptuous work of historical fiction told in three timelines: before, during and after WWII. This completely immersive story takes readers from the dangerous, intrigue-filled rooms in Switzerland where elites of both sides mingled and schemed during the war, to the glamorous halls of the House of Dior in the golden age of French fashion and journalism.

My Review:

Thank you Forever Publishing for the copy of this book!
–
Read if you like: WW2 fiction, dual timelines.
–
I love WW2 fiction and dual timelines and I thought this book was superbly crafted. The dual timelines looks at Alix’s life during and immediately after the war as we try to piece together what happened during the war and why someone is after Alix after.

I also thought it was cool that the author had Alix work for Dior and I loved the post war Paris fashion scene. This book is beautiful, snazzy, fast paced and heartbreaking and I thoroughly enjoyed!
