The Ambassador's Daughter

by Pam Jenoff

Book Overview

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Lost Girls of Paris.

For one woman in the aftermath of World War I, the City of Light harbors dark secrets and dangerous liaisons.

Paris, 1919. Margot Rosenthal has arrived in France with her father, a German diplomat. She initially resents being trapped in the congested capital, where she is still considered the enemy. But as she contemplates returning to Berlin and a life 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, a naval officer who gives Margot a job--and 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.

Don't miss Pam Jenoff's new novel, Last Twilight in Paris, a gripping mystery and an unforgettable story about love and survival.

Customer Reviews

Another great novel by Pam Jenoff!

While this novel was not as great as The Kommandant's Girl, it was equally fascinating and quite a page turner. Set mainly in Versallies, Pam Jenoff tells the story of Margot, a young woman escaping from her life back in Berlin, trying to forget the life she knows she has to return to someday. There she meets George Richwalder (Kommandant) and within a week the two fall for one another. Secrets are all around with every character holding onto secrets of their own boiling down to a shocking betrayal . I would've given a full five stars to this book but it just ended where I wish the author would have went on or at least 're did the epilogue and showed more of Margot and George s life in Berlin and leading up to the events of The Kommandants Girl. It was an overall great read and Pam Jenoff's way with words is alwyas mesmerizing. Four and a half stars!!
