Based on the real life of Gabriele this is a book that is culturally brilliant and very interesting.

Gabriele is embarking on a love affair that will end in marriage to a brilliant artist, Francis.
She then meets and falls in love with Marcel and this trio will change the course of French history.

This is a book rich in detail and I just adored getting to know the people as much as what i learned whilst reading.

I am an avid Francophile, so this was right up my boulevard.

I loved reading about the art movement and the artists that made this a time of excitement and discovery. I loved the way Gabriele entrenched herself into what she believed and how she inspired others with her musical talents and forward thinking.

Women are not made like Gabriele anymore which is why this book needs to be read and devoured..
