Description
In Nazi-occupied Paris, survival depends on more than just luck. Capucine Benoit's talent for design is put to the ultimate test as she works alongside her father to create exquisite fans and other luxury items for the city's fashion houses. But when the Germans invade, Capucine and her father are forced to fight for their lives. Betrayed by those they trust, they are sent to a prison camp within the Lévitan department store, where hundreds of prisoners work to sort through looted art and goods. Capucine must use all her wits to survive, drawing on memories of happier times in Paris's vibrant 1920s art scene. As she struggles to hold on to hope, Capucine's estranged daughter Mathilde begins to uncover the truth about her mother's past and the secrets she kept hidden. A story of survival, resistance, and the power of human connection, The Paris Showroom is a powerful tale of one woman's fight for life in the face of overwhelming adversity.
