HTML:<p><b>From the author of <i>Kings of Broken Things</i> and <i>In Our Other Lives</i> comes a provocative and stylish literary noir about two female war correspondents whose fates intertwine in Europe.</b></p> <p>Paris, 1938. Two women meet: Mielle, a shy pacifist and shunned Mennonite who struggles to fit in with the elite cohort of foreign correspondents stationed around the city; the other, Jane, a brash, legendary American journalist, who is soon to become a fascist propagandist. When World War II makes landfall in the City of Lights, Mielle falls under Jane's spell, growing ever more intoxicated by her glamour, self-possession, and reckless confidence. But as this recklessness devolves into militarism and an utter lack of humanity, Mielle is seized by a series of visions that show her an inescapable truth: Jane Anderson must die, and Mielle must be the one to kill her.<br /> Structured as a series of dispatches filed from around Europe and based on the misadventures of a real journalist-turned-Nazi mouthpiece, <i>The War Begins in Paris</i> is a cat-and-mouse suspense that examines the relentlessness of propaganda, the allure of power, and how far one woman will go for the sake of her morality.</p> <p>"Propulsive, immersive, and beautifully rendered, Theodore Wheeler...deftly illuminates themes of friendship, love, sacrifice, and heroism, and shows us how loyalty and conviction can move in unpredictable patterns under wartime duress. This is a major gut-punch of a novel, and I, for one, am thankful it exists." —James Han Mattson, author of <i>Reprieve</i></p>. Media Type: Audiobook.
