Exciting, twisting tale of the Haves and Have-nots of Paris.
Maud is an art student in a time that doesn't recognize women for much of anything. Women are rich and pampered, or servants to the well-to-do citizens, the in-betweens who model or try to rise above the undesirable people that are hardly ever seen. Maud is in danger of freezing through a brutal and challenging winter in Paris if she doesn't find a plan to provide for herself. The model in art class with the help of another well-to-do student find Maud employment as a tutor to a gentleman's young sister. What happens will keep you interested and thinking of this cast of characters well after you close the book to do things in your life. You'll be drawn back to them, their personnel predictaments and the flooding of Paris in 1910. I only put this book down when I had to do so. The charcters are richly woven so that they can't be ignored. Even the ones you don't like.
This story will leave you shocked and surprised throughout and the last quarter to third of the book will have you ignoring your name as it is called.
Highly recommend!
So good!
