About this listen
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 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.

A Zero Star Award!
I was really looking forward to this book as I love the narrator. I had also previously read another book by this author, so I had high hopes. I was so disappointed! The narrative is all over the place and hard to follow. The characters are weak and never really develop. So absolutely disappointed. Although beautifully narrated by Gabrielle de Cuir, it wasn't enough to save the book. After restarting several times, I finally gave up. If I could rate zero stars, this would be zero!
