A lush debut novel in the vein of Kathleen
Tessaro’s international bestseller, Elegance,
about a beautiful woman working as a model for Christian Dior in postwar Paris,
who discovers astonishing secrets about herself and the fabulous people around
her.
Raised on a vast Australian sheep farm, the beautiful Grace Woods is
compelled to travel to tumultuous, postwar Paris in order to start a new life.
While working as a glamorous model for Christian Dior, the world’s newly
acclaimed emperor of fashion, Grace mixes with counts and princesses, authors
and artists, diplomats and politicians. Amongst those she befriends are Pablo
Picasso, Julia Child, and the future Jackie Kennedy.
But
when Grace falls in love with the handsome Phillippe Boyer, she doesn’t know
that he is leading a double life, nor that his past might hold secrets and lies
that will turn her life upside down.
Based on a true story, The Paris Model by debut
fiction author Alexandra Joel, is an unforgettable tale of glamour, family
secrets, and heartbreak.
