New York Times bestselling author Natasha Lester delivers a brilliant blend of feminism, fashion, and history in this bold novel set against the real-life designers’ showdown in Versailles in the 1970s.

"Vogue meets Daisy Jones & The Six ... Natasha Lester's most compelling novel yet!" —Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Alice Network

French countryside, Present Day:
Blythe Bricard is the daughter of famous fashion muses but that doesn't mean she wants to be one. She turned her back on that world, and her dreams, years ago. Fate, however, has a different plan, and Blythe will discover there is more to her iconic mother and grandmother than she ever knew.

New York, 1970:
Designer Astrid Bricard arrives in bohemian Chelsea determined to change the fashion world forever. And she does―cast as muse to her lover, Hawk Jones. And when they're both invited to compete in the fashion event of the century―the Battle of Versailles―Astrid sacrifices everything to showcase her talent. But then, just as her career is about to take off, she mysteriously vanishes, leaving behind only a white silk dress.

Paris, 1917:
Parentless sixteen year old Mizza Bricard has made a vow: to be remembered on her own terms. Her promise sustains her through turbulent decades and volatile couture houses until, finally, her name is remembered and a legend is born―one that proves impossible for Astrid and Blythe to distance themselves from. 20th Century Historical Historical Fiction World Literature Women's Fiction Heartfelt

This story held my interest from start to finish. This author was very thorough in her research which resulted in the creation of a book so worthy of satisfying many readers. The narration of this book was superb. I personally prefer reading books without inappropriate words. That is my reason for the four star overall rating. It is especially difficult to hear the words read aloud in the narration.

A very intriguing story
