Hi, All... Looking for a novel based on Coco Chanel's Paris years, possibly exploring her relationship with the Nazis. Any suggestions??

I have read several books from Oprah 2.0 club.. I have her recent book choice on my Kindle Thank you Sue.. I go by Sue instead of Mona
Working on "The Third Life of Grange Copeland." Not really sure how I feel about it. Hard to read in so many ways; no really like able characters; wonderful dialect dialog; and such good writing. It's a love/ hate novel, I guess.

Read the story "Room with a Tree" by Michael Twist in Pooled Ink Anthology ((goodreads author) which won 2nd Place in Short Fiction. It is a wonderful piece with such well-drawn and fleshed out characters. Excellent story line for moving everything along; good tension; and, as always with Michael Twist an excellent way with words. Full disclosure - Michael is a goodreads friend and I learned of this anthology through his post. I will read the rest of the anthology and review at a later date.Michael has other short fiction books available. I highly recommend them!
I'm reading a delightful novel by Frederick Backman, My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry. Highly recommend:) Happy Reading to everyone!
