Summary

In September 1949 Jacqueline Bouvier arrives in postwar Paris to begin her junior year abroad. Immediately catapulted into an intoxicating new world of champagne and châteaux, art and avant-garde theater, cafés and jazz clubs, Jacqueline strikes up a romance with a talented young writer who shares her love of literature and passion for culture. But beneath the glitter and rush, France is a fragile place still haunted by the Occupation. In the aftermath of World War II, Paris has become a nest of spies, and suspicion, deception, and betrayal lurk around every corner. Jacqueline is stunned to watch the rise of communism -- anathema in America, but an active movement in France – never guessing she is witnessing the beginning of the political environment that will shape the rest of her life, and that of her future husband.--, Adapted from jacket
