I received this from NetGalley, which is sometimes as much a crapshoot as First Reads—lots of hype, purple prose, breathless blurbs, and not much in the way of objectivity. In light of the perfectly awful schlock I’ve read lately—Harlequin-style romances masquerading as WWII novels—a free ARC or KU was all I was willing to spend my time with.But this time I was surprised and delighted: The Parisians is a good, gritty, urbane, accurate, practical, frightening, realistic, and generally pitch-perfect novel of a little slice of Paris during the war. It is stuffed with characters that are completely fictional, completely real, and loosely based on real personages. It resonates with emotions, situations, mishaps, serendipitous moments, and sweaty-palms heart-stopping scenes, and none of them ever struck me as either clichéd or fraught with the dreaded “I’ve read all this before†syndrome. And the best part? No smarmy, over-the-top, twee, treacly Romance anywhere.There is much to like about a main character named Olivia from Minnesota who dwells in a spare, Spartan walk-up room in Paris, earnestly studying painting—a losing proposition, as it turns out—and selling quick pastiches of passersby along the Seine to pay her rent and buy food. Olivia is not glamorous or beautiful or exotic—she’s a second-generation Swede, pleasant, practical, and pretty. I have to say that Minnesota was a clever touch. Suffice it to say that art does not pay. Olivia meets a young man and, much more important, his mother, who gets her past the various dragons guarding all the doors of The Ritz Hotel and into a position as a lowly—very lowly—housekeeper.The work is back-breaking and endless and poorly paid, but Olivia’s Scandinavian genes kick in and she slogs on, head mostly down. It is the hotel that is the real character here, with its patina of elegance, almost sinful luxury—and in many cases most definitely sinful—and unrepentant hauteur as only the Parisians can manage. The hotel, yes, and its guests, with their larger than life personalities and even larger egos bolstered by the prevailing winds of politics during the Nazi occupation of Paris. There are quite a few here to despise: the brittle, nasty Coco Chanel who lived in splendor at the Ritz as she openly collaborated in every sense of the word with the highest ranking Nazis; the amazing film star Arletty, originally from a dark, poverty-ridden northern Paris suburb; fat, demonic, and unstable Heinrich Himmler who alternated between looting art and entertaining strings of young women in his suite; the reclusive—and Jewish—wife of the hotel’s owner who rarely ventured from her apartments in the hotel’s penthouse; and a particularly loathsome, lethal piece of Aryan womanhood who fixates on Olivia, I did not find anything inane or artificial or even ho-hum about anyone in this decidedly odd but accurate menagerie.Even better than these well-developed, multidimensional characters is the spot-on atmosphere of Paris during the Nazi occupation: gray, austere, and dangerous, where most Parisians kept to themselves to worry about food, fuel, and survival. By contrast, we see the pockets of light, fevered gaiety, and luxury, where the collaborators drink and dance with their alleged occupiers, and scorn those gray, worn people who scurry, heads down, along the streets. The Resistance also makes an appearance, this time not as a giant club that anyone and everyone joins, rather like the Boy Scouts, but as a quiet, secret, and hidden network that knows the slightest mistake can be—and almost always is—fatal to many. Olivia is not a member of the Resistance, but she helps in an entirely believable manner, complete with fear, sweat, near-misses, and a couple of moments approaching the familiar trope of the young girl going into the dark basement because she hears a noise.From first to last, this novel was an entertaining and erudite melange of wit, humor, terror, despair, hopelessness, regret, and perhaps a dozen more emotions one might experience during wartime and in an occupied city. The prose is strong, not pretentious or forced, with natural dialogue that says what the characters need to say and then stops, and a steady, forward-moving plot. Yes, those are the basics of a good read, but the author adds substantially more, lifting this tale above its nearest competitors in the WWII genre.Oh, if anyone read that horrible gossipy, inaccurate, and poorly written National Enquirer version of the Ritz Hotel during the war by an alleged historian, Tilar Mazzeo, please, read The Parisians instead. Even though it is historical fiction, it is far better and definitely more accurate on all levels.
This is a must read book for anyone who enjoys reading novels about WWII. One of the best books I have read in months. I could not put this book down. I didn't want it to end but I couldn't stop reading either. Fascinating story of the privileged French, the famous Ritz Hotel and the Nazi's who billitted there. Wonderful insight into the staff and the French Resistance. Highly recommend.
What an interesting perspective of history to read.My attention was held throughout it's pages. I found the subject so interesting. Detailed writing of German occupation of France opened my eyes to this part of history. The characters came alive and I felt so much a part of their lives and all they endured. Many thanks to the author for a truly sensational book.
Some parts are real page turners. Characters are well-developed, realistic and create a very effective look at German occupation of France from the perspective of several French women.
A vast amount of research went into this novel. Many of his characters were real but presented with such vivid descriptions as to lead one to believe they were a product of the teller's imagination. Then to read how they lived out their lives after the war, was quite interesting. Well done.
Great account. Part novel and part documentary. Easy to read hard to put down. History brought alive. Could be made into a movie.
The author kept you involved while describing Paris during WW2 and the lives of characters intertwined by the Ritz hotel and the various situations that kept them involved with each other. I read this in 2 days, loved it.
I love to read in this time period.… Especially about France and particularly about the Ritz hotel… The characters were intriguing and interesting and the story was fascinating and went into depth about interpersonal interactions within the hotel and the war… The “but“ to me was the torture that goes on and on gratuitously for pages and pages that almost ruined it for me because I kept flipping the pages until we finished up with that elongated torture of one of the lovely protagonists and finished up with the story
