Claude and Blanche are a little bit of an odd couple. She is an American in Paris to work on her acting career. He is the manager of a hotel. He prides himself on his service. They fall deeply in love and marry. But when Claude tells Blanche how marriage works in France, she is less than impressed. Claude ends up managing the Ritz and sometimes managing Blanche is as much work. Then the Nazi's invade. By now the couple has fallen into an uneasy truce but communication between them is poor. Both, independently, start their own resistance efforts. When Blanche makes a mistake and is arrested, Claude is heartbroken and tries to save her. The narration is well done making the audio version a pleasure to read.
