The Hostess of the Ritz
About This Novel
The novel "The Hostess of the Ritz" is based on real historical figures and events, telling the extraordinary story of a Jewish-American woman during World War II. The beautiful American actress Blanche Ozello was married to the manager of the Ritz Hotel. On the surface, this woman was just a Parisian fashion socialite. In March 1940, when the Nazis swept through Paris, she secretly worked for the French Resistance. The German troops who invaded Paris were stationed at the Ritz Hotel. In order to survive, and perhaps to protect each other, Blanche and Claude worked tirelessly to keep the hotel running smoothly and make their new guests happy. At the same time, the anti-fascist resistance movement was also carried out in an orderly and secret manner in the hotel. By describing the intimate, fearless, touching love and faith between Blanche and Claude, American writer Melanie Benjamin proves to readers around the world that love and sacrifice have infinite power to defeat evil and betrayal.
