The Three Lives Of Alix St. Pierre by Natasha Lester.
Thank you to Grand Central Publishing/Forever for the finished copy to read and review.
Book Synopsis
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
The Three Lives Of Alix St. Pierre is a historical fiction genre novel told in six parts. There are alternating timelines as we read about Alix's lives and experiences as an orphan, a spy, and her work in Fashion. I wish that there had been more of the World War II spy parts of her life and her work and less of the fashion aspects of the story. When reading the parts with Alix and Anthony, I found myself turning the pages and getting invested, then the book would switch back to more of the Dior fashion world, and my interest was lagging again. Natasha Lester is an author I will continue to read, but of her books that I have read, this is my least favorite.
My Rating: 3/5.
