Now, with her brother gone and her adopted home city of Paris conquered by the Reich, Sophie reluctantly accepts a position restoring damaged art at the Jeu de Paume museum under the supervision of the ERR--a German art commission using the museum as a repository for art they've looted from Jewish families. Fabienne Brandt was a rising star in the Parisian bohemian arts movement until the Nazis put a stop to so-called "degenerate" modern art. Still mourning the loss of her firebrand husband, she's resolved to muddle her way through the occupation in whatever way she can--until her estranged sister-in-law, Sophie, arrives at her door with a stolen painting in hand. Soon the two women embark upon a plan to save Paris's "degenerates," working beneath the noses of Germany's top art connoisseurs to replace the paintings in the Jeu de Paume with skillful forgeries--but how long can Sophie and Fabienne sustain their masterful illusion?"--Amazon. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $z Paris $z Paris $v Fiction. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Women $z Paris $z Paris $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Art thefts $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Art $x Forgeries $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft. 941 $a 4 952 $l UGPF911 $d 20231207021927.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20231206014601.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20230818014514.0 952 $l SCPC074 $d 20230711054233.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BDE5BF0E1FB111EEBAEC81A559ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
