Publisher's summary

Inspired by the incredible true story of Josephine Baker's role in the French Resistance, this is a heart-wrenching, unforgettable tale of the strength of the human spirit in the darkest days of World War II.

In the City of Light, one woman will stand against darkness.

Paris, 1941. With Nazi occupation imminent, journalist Elodie Mitchell plans to return home to Chicago. But an unexpected invitation to a Josephine Baker show changes everything.

Mistaken for the star, Elodie is whisked backstage, where she uncovers an underground resistance movement hidden beneath the glitz and glamour.

Drawn into a whisper network of spies, Elodie accepts a perilous mission: to go undercover as Josephine's cousin and gather vital intelligence.

In a world on the edge of darkness, Elodie must summon unwavering courage to protect her beloved adopted city and its people – and getting caught is not an option.

A wartime epic about love, bravery and fighting against prejudice in all its forms, perfect for fans of Kate Quinn, Marie Benedict and Pam Jenoff.

I loved this novel which publishes today!
🦋
1941-We follow American Journalist Eloise Mitchell in Paris. She accepts tickets from a mysterious man to see Josephine Baker and is mistaken for her. Josephine Baker is a singer and is well known for her singing amongst other things.
🦋
She gets an opportunity to pose as Josephine’s cousin and her life as becomes a whirlwind as her assignment has her gathering information.
🦋
I was absolutely invested in her life which brought intrigue, prejudices and bravery.

The book was not written particularly well but it was still interesting. The narrator was one of the worst I’ve heard.
