Revisiting the early dark days of the German occupation of France, The Postmistress of Paris follows Naneé as she joins the resistance, using her charm and skill to house artists hunted by the Nazis and deliver them to safety from war-torn Europe. Photographer Edouard Moss has escaped Germany with his young daughter only to be interned in a French labor camp. His life collides with Naneé’s in a sweeping tale of romance and danger set in a world aflame with personal and political passion.

Inspired by the real-life story of Chicago heiress Mary Jayne Gold, opens a new window who worked with American journalist Varian Fry to smuggle artists and intellectuals out of France, The Postmistress of Paris is the haunting story of an indomitable woman whose strength, bravery, and love are a beacon of hope in a time of terror.
