What readers are saying about Ella Carey: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ripped my heart right out of my chest and made me cry so much...
From top-ten bestseller Ella Carey, fans of Fiona Valpy, The Nightingale and Rhys Bowen will never forget The Paris Maid.
Was the woman who taught Nicole so much about family and loyalty a resistance fighter, or will her granddaughter have to live with the knowledge that she is descended from a traitor? And will Nicole be able to finally move forward with her life if she can uncover the truth? An utterly heart-shattering and gripping novel about love, betrayal and how one courageous young woman paid a terrible price to save those she loved.
When a French historian calls Louise by a different name, Nicole realizes there must be more to her grandmother\'s story.
Devastated by her new legacy and about to start a family of her own, Nicole searches for answers.
She is reeling from her recent discovery: a black-and-white photograph of her grandmother as a young woman, head shaved, branded a traitor.
But if Louise trusts someone with the truth, what will happen? Years later, her granddaughter Nicole looks up at the ornate façade of the infamous Paris hotel.
As he and Louise share a small carafe of red wine hidden amongst her cleaning bottles, she feels her heart begin to open.
Everything changes for Louise on the day a young Allied pilot, hunted by the Nazis, is smuggled into the hotel.
The only secret she never tells is her own.
As she changes silk sheets and scrubs sumptuous marble bathtubs, she listens and watches, reporting all she can to the Resistance.
Louise Basset works as a housemaid at The Ritz Hotel, home to the most powerful Nazis in France.
They have no idea who I am.
As men paint a swastika across my face, I hold onto one small glimmer of hope.
Tears blur my vision as the razor grazes my scalp, waves of blonde hair falling to the ground.
Nazi collaborator.
Traitor! yells the crowd as they push me down onto a stool.
Paris, 1944
