The Three Lives of Alix St. Pierre by Natasha Lester #WorldWarIIFiction #BookReview

I bought some books back in January with a gift card and finally got around to reading one of the volumes selected. #TheThreeLivesofAlixStPierre by #NatashaLester is the type of #WWII #HistoricalFiction I enjoy. #2022Books #bookreview #audiobook

1943. After spearheading several successful advertising campaigns in New York, PR wizard Alix St. Pierre comes to the attention of the U.S. government and finds herself recruited into a fledgling intelligence organization. Enlisted as a spy, Alix is sent to Europe where she is tasked with getting close to a Nazi who might be willing to help the Allied forces–but there’s also the chance he might…

How much time do you dedicate for researching before starting the writing?

Some authors research first and then start writing, but I work a little differently in that I do the bulk of my research after the first draft is done. I find this is the most efficient way, as I’ll know exactly which aspects of history I need to understand for my story. Also, I’m not a planner so it’s actually hard to know what I need to research before I write the first draft! For 'The Three Lives of Alix St Pierre', I studied pictures and illustrations of Dior’s very first New Look gowns from February 1947, and read Dior’s autobiography and discovered that Dior relied on fortune tellers and wasn’t going to go ahead with his couture house until a fortune teller told him she could foresee it was going to be successful. There was also some more serious research, particularly into the role of women during and after the war, and into the lesser known theatres of war in Switzerland and Italy, where Alix finds herself embroiled in a dangerous campaign to help the partisans fight the Nazis.

Den franska fotografen av Natasha Lester är inspirerad av berättelsen om Lee Miller, en Vogue-modell som blev den första kvinnliga krigskorrespondenten. Det här är en riktig bladvändare som man blir helt uppslukad av.
