"Paris, 1919. The world's leaders have gathered to rebuild from the ashes of the Great War. But for one woman, the City of Light harbors dark secrets and dangerous liaisons, for which many could pay dearly. Brought to the peace conference by her father, a German diplomat, Margot Rosenthal initially resents being trapped in the congested French capital, where she is still looked upon as the enemy. But as she contemplates returning to Berlin and a life with Stefan, the wounded fiancé she hardly knows anymore, she decides that being in Paris is not so bad after all. Bored and torn between duty and the desire to be free, Margot strikes up unlikely alliances: with Krysia, an accomplished musician with radical acquaintances and a secret to protect; and with Georg, the handsome, damaged naval officer who gives Margot a job--and also a reason to question everything she thought she knew about where her true loyalties should lie. Against the backdrop of one of the most significant events of the century, a delicate web of lies obscures the line between the casualties of war and of the heart, making trust a luxury that no one can afford."--Page 4 of cover.

The Last Summer at Chelsea Beach

Kommandant's Girl / The Diplomat's Wife

Paris, 1919. La guerre à peine finie, Margot Rosenthal se voit contrainte de suivre son père à Paris où il doit négocier le traité de paix avec les vainqueurs. Pas facile pour une jeune Allemande de s'intégrer dans une ville où elle demeure aux yeux de tous une ennemie. Mais n'est-ce pas préférable à la vie qui l'attend à Berlin, au côté de son fiancé revenu du front, et qui n'a plus rien de commun avec celui dont elle était tombée amoureuse ? Heureusement, loin du monde contraint et policé des diplomates, il y a la liberté des bars de Montparnasse, où les rires et les discussions enflammées fusent dans la lueur tamisée des bougies, où le cliquetis des verres couvre joyeusement les notes feutrées du piano. Très vite, Margot rêve de se mêler à cette jeunesse libérée qui la fascine, de nouer parmi elle des liens à la fois dangereux et délicieusement grisants. Et d'abord avec Georg Richwalder, cet officier charismatique qui lui propose de l'engager comme traductrice. Auprès de cet homme, ce sont bientôt toutes ses certitudes qui s'écroulent, tandis que grandit le désir qu'elle éprouve pour lui. Dans ces temps troublés, comment contenir cette passion intense et lumineuse qui la submerge, au point, peut-être, de l'amener à manquer aux promesses qu'elle a faites à un autre ?
