PRAISE FOR THE THREE LIVES OF ALIX ST. PIERRE:
“Natasha Lester weaves an intricate
plot of espionage and revenge around fascinating true facts about the
war and its aftermath. A thrilling read.”―Ruth Druart, author of While Paris Slept
“An enthralling page turner! Luxuriant and opulent, just like Dior’s glorious gowns.”―Tania Blanchard, author of The Girl from Munich
“The Three Lives of Alix St. Pierre
braids espionage, fashion, and a broken-but-unbowed heroine together
into one fascinating tale. Natasha Lester weaves a triple-stranded
delight!"—Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Diamond Eye
“In both Alix and Anthony’s perspectives, Lester captures the delicate balance between
trust and self-preservation. With true-life characters, detailed descriptions, and a strong sense of
place, she celebrates the glamour of Dior without shying away from the horrors endured by
Italian partisans during Nazi
occupation. For readers who enjoyed Code Name Hélène, by Ariel Lawhon
(2020), or Jennifer Chiaverini's Resistance Women”–Booklist
“Natasha Lester has done
it again with this sumptuously written page-turner! Alix St. Pierre is
everything that makes an admirable heroine – independent, plucky, and
clever as the story spans from the fashionable world of Dior in Paris to
the fascinating intrigue of international espionage in neutral
Switzerland. The Three Lives of Alix St. Pierre is a captivating novel
that readers will absolutely adore.”—Madeline Martin,
New York Times
bestselling author of
The Last Bookshop in London
"Natasha Lester has expertly woven a
brilliant heroine who is as brave in the fashion world as she is spying
on the enemy. From page one, I was completely captivated by her daring
and enamored with the glamour of Paris fashion. Unputdownable!”
—Eliza Knight,
USA Today
bestselling author of
The Mayfair Bookshop
“Sparkling and complex, like vintage
champagne. In The Three Lives of Alix St Pierre, Natasha Lester gives us
a brilliant, fascinating and multi-layered heroine whose dangerous past
as a spy in World War II comes to threaten her future in glamorous
post-war Paris. Lester’s masterful storytelling held me enthralled from
the first page!”
―Christine Wells, author of
Sisters of the Resistance

ABOUT THE THREE LIVES OF ALIX ST. PIERRE:
Alix St. Pierre. An unforgettable name for an unforgettable woman. She
grew up surrounded by Hollywood glamor, but, as an orphan, never truly
felt part of that world.
In 1943, with WWII raging and men headed
overseas to fight, she lands a publicity job to recruit women into the
workforce.
Her skills—persuasion, daring, quick-witted under
pressure—catch the attention of the U.S. government and she finds
herself with an even bigger assignment: sent to Switzerland as a spy.
Soon Alix is on the precipice of something big, very big. But how far
can she trust her German informant…?
After an Allied victory that didn’t come nearly soon enough,
Alix moves to Paris, ready to immerse herself in a new position as
director of publicity for the yet-to-be-launched House of Dior.
In the
glamorous halls of the French fashion house, she can nearly forget
everything she lost and the dangerous secret she carries.
But when a
figure from the war reappears and threatens to destroy her future, Alix
realizes that only she can right the wrongs of the past …and finally
find justice.
