| Summary |
" Paryż, rok 1939. Miasto Świateł ogarnia mrok. Dla Sandrine Paquet wojna zmieniła wszystko. Jej mąż zaginął na froncie, a szczęśliwe, pełne blasku życie stało się jedynie mglistym wspomnieniem. Tymczasem z polecenia nazistów Sandrine kataloguje dzieła sztuki kradzione żydowskim rodzinom, w tajemnicy przekazując informacje na ich temat francuskiemu ruchowi oporu. Pewnego dnia otrzymuje skrzynkę zawierającą suknię Chanel z zagadkową wiadomością... Lila de Laurent, krawcowa dotychczas pracująca w domu mody Chanel, z dnia na dzień traci pracę - firma zamyka się w chwili, gdy do Paryża wkraczają Niemcy. Szykowne bale, praca u słynnej projektantki, uczucie do René Touliarda zastępują wojenna rzeczywistość, codzienna walka o przetrwanie i świadomość, że dawny ukochany kolaboruje z wrogiem. Wkrótce pod pretekstem szycia kreacji dla żon i kochanek niemieckich żołnierzy krawcowa zbiera informacje, które mogą zaważyć na losach Francji." -- Cover. |

" Paris, 1939. Maison Chanel has closed, thrusting haute couture dressmaker Lila de Laurent out of the world of high fashion as Nazi soldiers invade the streets and the City of Lights slips into darkness. Lila's life is now a series of rations, brutal restrictions, and carefully controlled propaganda while Paris is cut off from the rest of the world. Yet in hidden corners of the city, the faithful pledge to resist. Lila is drawn to La Resistance and is soon using her skills as a dressmaker to infiltrate the Nazi elite. She takes their measurements and designs masterpieces, all while collecting secrets in the glamorous Hôtel Ritz - at he heart of the Nazis' Parisian headquarters. But when dashing René Touliard suddenly reenters her world, Lila finds her heart tangled between determination to help save his Jewish family and bolstering the fight for liberation. Paris, 1943. Sandrine Paquet's job is to catalog the priceless works of art bound for the Führer's Berlin, masterpieces stolen from prominent Jewish families. But behind closed doors, she secretly forages for information from the underground resistance. Beneath her compliant façade lies a woman bent on uncovering the fate of her missing husband . . . but at what cost? As Hitler's regime crumbles, Sandrine is drawn in deeper when she uncrates an exquisite blush Chanel gown concealing a cryptic message that may reveal the fate of a dressmaker who vanished from within the fashion elite. Told across the span of the Nazi occupation, The Paris Dressmaker highlights the brave women who used everything in their power to resist darkness and restore light to their world."--Provided by publisher. |
