ICOLA Rayner's The Paris
-
NICOLA Rayner's The Paris Dancer is a compelling and emotionally charged work of historical fiction, blending glamour, resistance, and deep personal loss.
Inspired by the true story of a Jewish ballroom dancer in occupied France, it's a dual-timeline novel that explores the legacy of courage and the long shadow of war.
The novel opens in 1938, as Annie Mayer arrives in Paris hoping to become a ballerina.
A Jewish immigrant, she finds a job dancing at the Bal Tabarin, a glittering Parisian cabaret full of sequins and cigarette smoke.
