The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated Mistress of the Ritz in Books
Oct 5, 2020
When it comes to the French Resistance of WWII, the names Blanche and Claude Auzello aren’t all that well-known. Thankfully, Melanie Benjamin has just written a biographical, historical fiction novel about them, and especially about Blanche, who during the Nazi occupation of Paris, was known as the “Mistress of the Ritz” and she was the wife of the hotel’s manager, Claude. You can find my review of this amazing book on my blog here (Thanks for the free book, @PRHGlobal/@prhinternational.) https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2019/05/24/puttin-on-the-resistance/

I liked some things in this, and others not so much.
Michelle's way of talking was very realistic, a French woman speaking English isn't likely to have the perfect grasp and she didn't; it was very authentic and I liked it.
I also liked the authors way of describing the thoughts of people around them that they could hear and how they were thinking about realistic things.
Things I wasn't so fond of: the storyline. Bent cops wanting to get their own back on a woman who humiliated them. Just seems a little overkill.
