A Pair of Blue Eyes (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783906256313)

"LOVE IS OVERRATED"

1927: Europe is healing. Berlin is burning-bright with decadence, danger, and change.

Eloise de Fournier has always been the perfect Swiss daughter, wife and mother. Widowhood leaves her adrift until she sees a chance to become a modern woman.

Ladies' magazines spin a seductive illusion of fashion, culture and opportunity. The reality is acrobats and divorcees, degenerates and amputees luring dreamers with innocent blue eyes.

In the smoky cabarets and restless streets of Weimar Berlin, Eloise lives her dream. Love, long dismissed, is not so overrated after all.

Yet beneath the city's reckless glamour, a darker rhythm grows-boots drum on the streets, voices rise in anger. Germany's fragile democracy is under threat from all sides.

As the music falters and the shadows close in, Eloise faces the hardest choice of all.

A Pair of Blue Eyes is a dramatic tale of love, loyalty and reinvention in a world teetering on the edge.
