Louis Bromfield can be rather fun. In this book we follow the fate of a young dancer from the wrong side of Evanston, Indiana's tracks. Back home, she was Irma Peters, but her stage name in Paris was Roxie Dawn. She'd been a headliner in a Paris night club for about ten years when the book begins, a quite successful one.
But, the Nazis have just taken Paris and people are fleeing. Should Roxie go back to America, or should she stay in Paris where she'd had a successful life? Her boss convinced her to stay with the show. Then too, her lover, Nicholas Stejadze was there.
Her boss convinces her to befriend a Nazi Major in hopes that she might "learn something". It seems the boss and Nicholas are working to set up an underground resistance to the Nazi occupation. Roxie isn't sure she hates Germans enough to help, but she keeps her options open.
It's a fascinating look at a perilous time and how people coped with uncertainty and oppression.
