PRAISE FOR THE GIRL FROM THE GRAND HOTEL
“Fun and surprising . . . The Girl from the Grand Hotel follows a 20-year-old American woman [who] hobnobs with the rich and famous . . . but all the while Camille Aubray has set the stage for deeper themes . . . Readers will be swept away.” — Publishers Weekly
“Camille Aubray's The Girl from the Grand Hotel begins as a beach read—and what a beach!—then evolves into a glossy- fearsome thriller partly based on true events . . . Readers who like the pageantry of galas and the upstairs-downstairs tensions of Downton Abbey should swoon at this breathtakingly imagined novel.” —Shelf Awareness Pick for “Best Books”
“Dazzling!” —Woman’s World Pick for “Best New Books You Won't Be Able to Put Down”
“A story steeped in glamour and espionage . . . The beauty of Aubray’s uncluttered prose [lends] credence to the F. Scott Fitzgerald quote she uses to open the novel’s first part. The numerous real-life luminaries who pepper the story add a comforting gravitas and depth to the narrative, and Aubray hews close to their actual stories and personas...The Girl from the Grand Hotel offers an imaginative glimpse into recent history, one that entertains as it gives perspective.” —The Washington Independent Review of Books
“With sparkling characters and a riveting plot, Aubray's latest will appeal to fans of old Hollywood and historical fiction in general.” — Booklist
“This is a great historically based novel that looks at the first Cannes film festival, has well- written characters, and a story you want to keep reading. Historical fiction readers will enjoy this one.” —Red Carpet Crash
“Camille Aubray's newest novel, The Girl from the Grand Hotel, transports readers to the dazzling Côte d'Azur, just in time for the first Cannes Film Festival in September 1939.” —Historical Novels Society’s Pick of Forthcomng Books
“This transportive new read based on a true story has won over Kristin Hannah (“What’s not to love about this delicious novel”) and Fiona Davis (“[I] was swept away by the fast-paced story and canny twists”). A young American checks into the Grand Hotel in the South of France — where the glamorous clientele must soon contend with the arrival of Nazi officials.”—Bookbub Editor’s Pick
“The Girl from the Grand Hotel is right up my alley! French history, the Cote d'Azur, and old Hollywood—what's not to love about this delicious novel inspired by true events and set in one of the most beautiful, most romantic places in the world? Camille Aubray captures this era in vivid and memorable detail.” —Kristin Hannah, #1 New York Times bestselling author
“Huge congrats to Camille Aubray for a terrific read! The Girl from the Grand Hotel is a delicious romp through the South of France, filled with a cast of Hollywood legends and wrapped in a tense spy thriller. I loved her dead-on depictions of bold-faced names of the day like F. Scott Fitzgerald and Charles Laughton, and was swept away by the fast-paced story and canny twists. An exhilarating ride!” -- Fiona Davis, New York Times bestselling author
“Hollywood movie stars mingle with Nazi spies in a feverish atmosphere combined with a touching love story. The Girl from the Grand Hotel is an intense page-turner you won’t want to put down!” –Jacques Pépin, celebrity chef, New York Times bestselling author
