Summary

Against the winds of war, with the Wehrmacht marching down the Champs-Élysées, Coco Chanel finds herself residing alongside the Reich's High Command in the Hotel Ritz. Surrounded by the enemy, she wages a private war of her own to wrestle full control of her perfume company from the hands of her Jewish business partner, Pierre Wertheimer. With anti-Semitism on the rise, he has escaped to the United States with the confidential formula for Chanel No. 5. As Paris sinks under the iron fist of German rule, Chanel will do anything to survive. She will even agree to collaborate with the Nazis in order to protect her darkest secrets. To what lengths will she go to keep her stormy past from haunting her future? -- adapted from jacket
