My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2808083787">5 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
This book is based on the true story of Blanche and Claude Auzello, managers of the Ritz hotel in Paris during the German occupation in WWII. Melanie Benjamin builds an amazing story around the few facts that are actually known about their lives as they played host to the German troops at the hotel while secretly doing their part for the French resistanceto fight against them. I read The Aviator's Wife by this author and loved it so I was excited to read this early copy from NetGalley. I couldn't put it down! I look forward to more wonderful writing from this author.<br />
