The Queen of Paris: A Novel of Coco Chanel Pamela Binnings Ewen

“Ewen (The Moon in the Mango Tree) dazzles in this outstanding historical thriller that chronicles the life of Coco Chanel in occupied France. ..Ewen’s Chanel is arrogant and fragile in equal measure, and the author does a marvelous job of diving into the motivations of a woman born into poverty as she defends the fortune she built for herself, making this a refreshingly nuanced character portrait and also a real page-turner. This is topnotch historical fiction.” Publisher’s Weekly – starred review
