DESCRIPTION
A sweeping historical novel inspired by the life of Josephine Baker, the Jazz Age provocateur and subsequent heroine of the French Resistance during World War Two. Paris, 1925. Nineteen-year-old Dorothea Walker has fled the poverty and prejudice of St Louis for the glittering cabarets of the City of Light. But her dreams of stardom are quickly dimmed - pushed to the end of the chorus line, she's nearly invisible. Until one daring, scandalous performance catapults her into fame.
For more than a decade, Dorothea dances her way across Paris and Europe, adored and envied in equal measure. But as the shadow of Nazi power spreads, she finds herself drawn into a world far more dangerous than the stage: the French Resistance.
Forming an alliance with American promoter Joseph Smith, Dorothea embarks on her own high-stakes missions. With secrets hidden in sheet music and couture gowns lined with classified files, Dorothea plays a double game in clubs, salons, and occupied cities.
But as the stakes get ever higher, not only is her job on the line - her life is, too. Dorothea must decide how far she's willing to go and how much she's willing to risk - not just for herself, but for the freedom of a country that became her home.
Sweeping from the smoky nightclubs of Montmartre to the perilous under world of wartime espionage, The Last Star in Paris is a tale of ambition, survival, and one woman who refuses to be silenced.
