Women's Fiction Historical | Historical
As Paris teeters on the edge of the German occupation, a
young French woman closes the door to her late grandmother’s
treasure-filled apartment, unsure if she’ll ever return. An elusive courtesan, Marthe de Florian cultivated a life of
art and beauty, casting out all recollections of her
impoverished childhood in the dark alleys of Montmartre.
With Europe on the brink of war, she shares her story with
her granddaughter Solange Beaugiron, using her prized
possessions to reveal her innermost secrets. Most striking
of all are a beautiful string of pearls and a magnificent
portrait of Marthe painted by the Italian artist Giovanni
Boldini. As Marthe’s tale unfolds, like velvet itself,
stitched with its own shadow and light, it helps to guide
Solange on her own path. Inspired by the true account of an abandoned Parisian
apartment, Alyson Richman brings to life Solange, the young
woman forced to leave her fabled grandmother’s legacy behind
to save all that she loved.
