Mistress of the Ritz by Melanie BenjaminMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
A great book. Starts light ends realistic. I find this period of time interesting and I find the Ritz a perfect historical metaphor for all of France. The French were so easily conquered in WWII probably because they were incredibly damaged by WWI and did not want a repeat. Even so the French people often went to extraordinary lengths to make the German occupation less than attractive.
Today in France the remnants of the occupation are all around and mostly disregarded.
