LOVERS AT THE CHAMELEON CLUB,PARIS 1932 by Francine Prose is masterfully written. The author uses five distinct voices to tell a complex story of the Nazi occupation of Paris and the time leading up to it. The setting of Paris is clearly, and I think, accurately, represented. It feels real and aligns with other books I've read set during that time period. 
 The voices, Gabor, the photographer/artist in letters to his parents, his girlfriend/wife Suzanne in a memoir to be destroyed upon her death, Lionel Maine, an American from NJ trying to make his way as a writer (and up against the formidable legacy of Hemingway) Lily de Rossignol, in a published memoir, and the biographer, telling the tale of Lou Villars, the antagonist around whom the action swirls all have their connection to the Chameleon Club and hence, to each other. 
 The different perspectives, and genres, allow mood and tone switches and support the reality that perception presents history as shape-shifting, to a degree. It is awesome when an author, particularly one as skilled as Prose, takes real people and recreates a world that sounds true--although what is truth and what is manufactured always plagues me.
