The Paris Model

A Novel

About this book

A model for Christian Dior in postwar Paris discovers astonishing secrets about herself and the famous people around her in this lush debut novel.

Raised on a vast Australian sheep farm, the stunning Grace Woods is compelled to travel to tumultuous postwar Paris 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 is an unforgettable tale of glamour, family secrets, and heartbreak in the vein of Kathleen Tessaro's international bestseller, Elegance.
