Paris, 1938. On the eve of war, eighteen-year-old Daisy Blakely arrives in Paris as an apprentice fashion designer to the renowned Coco Chanel.
As the city edges toward occupation, she begins to fall in love with Jean-Claude Jacob, a Jewish doctor, and is drawn into the growing resistance.
But when the Germans take Paris and Jean-Claude is arrested by the Gestapo, Daisy is left to survive alone in a city under siege. Forced into a life of secrecy and risk, she continues her resistance work, determined to fight back.
But everything shifts when she meets Fritz, a German soldier. As Fritz’s true role in the war comes into focus, Daisy must decide whom she can trust – and what she is willing to sacrifice.
I won't soon forget Daisy Blakely... This is a rich, suspenseful, and heart-rending historical novel – Nancy Bilyeau, bestselling author of The Blue
