With each sensational chapter, A Dangerous Woman documents the life of Florence Gould, a fabulously wealthy socialite and patron of the arts, who hid her dark past as a Nazi collaborator in 1940s Paris. Born in turn-of-the-century San Francisco to French parents, Florence moved to Paris, aged 11. Believing that only money brought respectability and happiness, she became the third wife of Frank Jay Gould, son of the railway millionaire Jay Gould.

Factual Errors
Revisado: 03-07-18
Any additional comments?
In chapter 26, the author erroneously links famed WWII era AP reporter, Edward Kennedy, to the famed Kennedy family. The passage revolves around a WWII investigation into Florence's colluding with the Germans. The author writes that the reporter in question was Edward "Ted" Kennedy, the son of the former Ambassador to England, Joseph Kennedy. This is such a careless error, as the future Senator Kennedy wasn't born until 1932, making this claim ludicrous. The actual AP reporter, Edward Kennedy was born in 1905 and was no relation to the former Ambassador. This flagrant error makes me worry about the accuracy of other "facts" presented.

Plot jumps around too much to follow on an audiobo
Revisado: 05-24-13
What would have made Paris better?
I just don't believe this plot format works for an audiobook. The author jumps back and forth between characters and time periods. I had a difficult time remember each story thread, and to be honest it became a chore to try to follow. I finally just gave up.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
I think reading it in print would have made all the difference.
