Summary:
"Pamela Binnings Ewen's newest novel reveals the story of Émilienne, once the most beautiful, sought-after woman in Paris during the Belle Époque, the era of peaceful years just before World War I. As a girl, Émilienne fights her way through poverty in Montmartre, drawn to the lights of Paris below. Soon, she stars at the Folies Bergère, 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, Émilienne's young friend, Coco Chanel, has other ideas of how to survive in a man's world. Strong ideas. Now, as Émilienne fights to survive, Coco's star rises."--from Amazon.com.
