From the bestselling author of The Queen of Paris comes a glittering new novel about youth, beauty, and having the courage to carve your own path in a world on the brink of war.

Pamela Binnings Ewen's newest novel reveals the story of Emilienne, once the most beautiful, sought-after woman in Paris during the Belle Epoque, the era of peaceful years just before World War I. As a girl, Emilienne fights her way through poverty in Montmartre, drawn to the lights of Paris below. Soon, she stars at the Folies Bergere, mistress of kings and princes, known as the most beautiful woman in Europe.

But, happiness is elusive, and youth and beauty are fragile. And where is love? As clouds of war begin darkening Europe, Emilienne's young friend, Coco Chanel, has other ideas of how to survive in a man's world. Strong ideas. Now, as Emilienne fights to survive, Coco's star rises.

Industry Reviews

"Ewen chronicles Emilienne's meteoric rise to fame and her grand affairs during a time when courtesans could earn both respect and notoriety. A well-researched, fascinating, albeit tragic saga, with a great feel for time and place."
