The Three Lives of Alix St Pierre
Natasha Lester
Reviewed by Helen
WOW this is another fabulous story from such a wonderful story teller, Natasha Lester has taken me on a journey back to World War 2, and after, as we meet Alix St Pierre and see the courage and determination she has to do what she can to help with the war and then she is working with Christina Dior in Paris, this one is a must read.
It is 1943 and Alix is a talented New York PR consultant, one of the best, when she is asked to an interview with the US government and finds herself working in Bern Switzerland as a spy, Alix works very hard and is soon helping the Italian Partisans. This work can be so heartbreaking at times and Alix is doing all she can to help them with information and supplies when she meets up with a Nazi who is offering help, is it the right help though?
At the end of the war Alix returns to Paris where she is hired to help Christina Dior launch his line of couture clothing, Dior wants nothing but the best and Alix knows what she is doing, here we see more of Alix’s strength as she launches Dior with flair and glamour. During this time she meets someone, newspaper editor Anthony March who opens up a wound that Alix has done her best to cover and now she knows she must find the truth before the wound can be healed and as they team up, will they get justice for the past and will they find peace and happiness?
This story is heartbreaking and heartfelt at the same time, beautifully written and told in the best way, Natasha Lester pulled me in from page one, my heart went out to Alix in this story what strength and courage this woman had, there is danger, intrigue during the war and then the beauty of fashion as Dior is launched. Come along and meet Alix and Anthony and journey with them through a story that will make you cry and make you smile. I do highly recommend this book, it is not to be missed.
