Three Lives of Alix St. Pierre by Natasha Lester is a great WWII-era historical fiction that has it all: mystery, suspense, intrigue, history, action, and fashion. It is a great book.

I have really enjoyed several of Ms. Lester’s previous novels, so of course I wanted to read this one as well. It did not disappoint.

Intricately woven among different moments within the main character’s life (Alix), we see her come alive, take charge, and take action in several different roles ( spy, actress, recruiter of sorts, and overall powerhouse), and it creates a story that entertains, engages, and surprises. I really liked the balance between the intricate storyline and yet the ease of which it was presented so as to keep things brisk and not bogged down by detail.

I was thoroughly impressed.

5/5 stars

Thank you NG and Forever (Grand Central Publishing) for this wonderful arc and in return I am submitting my unbiased and voluntary review and opinion.

I am posting this review to my GR and Bookbub accounts immediately and will post it to my Amazon, Instagram, and B&N accounts upon publication on 1/10/23.

Natasha Lester is at the top of my favorite authors list. I was thrilled to discover my request for The Three Lives of Alix St. Pierre had been granted. Thank you Forever Grand Central and NetGalley. I stayed up very, very late last night so i could finish this book. No one does historical fiction better. Ms. Lester's research is deep, her storytelling beautiful, and her characters lovable and believable. 10 Stars!

The market is flooded with stories of World War II daring and bravery, maybe because those qualities seem to be so sadly lacking in over leaders and our country now. Alix St. Pierre is an incredible woman, who becomes a model, a government publicity agent to lure women to the workplace and a spy for the Allies. Take a break from the pathetic whiny politicians and their delusional followers of today and travel back in time for a dose of real leadership and a lesson on citizenship
