Books like The ambassador's daughter by Pam Jenoff

Paris, 1919: the world’s leaders congregate to reconstruct a war‑torn continent. Margot Rosenthal, born of a German diplomat, arrives at the Paris Peace Conference reluctantly, scorned by locals who still regard her family as enemy. Pulled into a city brimming with secrets, Margot contemplates leaving for Berlin and a hesitant future with a wounded fiancé, Stefan. Yet she soon discovers that Paris may not be so bleak after all. Through unlikely friendships with Krysia, a talented musician bound to radical circles, and Georg, a weathered naval officer who offers her employment, Margot begins to question where her true allegiances lie. Set against the historic backdrop of the post‑war negotiations, the novel traces the delicate balance between personal longing and national duty, illustrating how war‑scarred lives intertwine with the fragile threads of trust that survive in its aftermath.
