Page-turning . . . Rich with intrigue and laced with secrets THE AUSTRALIAN WOMEN'S WEEKLY

Luxuriant and opulent, just like Dior's glorious gowns. A sweeping story of love, betrayal and one woman's struggle to find her place in the world. An engrossing and beautiful read TANIA BLANCHARD

Very glamorous, and fun CAROLINE OVERINGTON, WEEKEND AUSTRALIAN

A thrilling read RUTH DRUART

Sparkling and complex, like vintage Champagne . . . Lester's masterful storytelling held me enthralled from the first page CHRISTINE WELLS

1943. After spearheading several successful advertising campaigns in New York, PR wizard Alix St Pierre finds herself recruited into a fledgling intelligence organisation by the US government. 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 to run the Service de la Presse for the yet-to-be-launched House of Christian Dior. But when a figure from the war reappears and threatens to destroy her future, Alix realises that only she can right the wrongs of the past and bring him to justice.

From the bestselling Australian author of The Riviera House, this captivating story takes readers from the dangerous, intrigue-filled rooms in Switzerland where elites schemed during the war to the glamorous halls of the House of Dior in the golden age of French fashion and journalism.

This is a really, really great book. Natasha Lester has dreamed up a brave, flawed, unbreakable heroine guided by her determination to survive and thrive no matter what. I was enthralled by this story and rooted for Alix every step of the way DANIELA SACERDOTI

Alix [is] a heroine who is rational and glamorous and downright spunky . . . It's a rollicking rollercoaster of a read and I couldn't put it down THE AU REVIEW
