It took all her courage to escape, but Paris, she quickly realizes, is no place for a light purse. While her fellow students enjoy the dazzling decadence of the Belle Epoque, Maud slips into poverty. Quietly starving, and dreading another cold Paris winter, she stumbles upon an opportunity when Christian Morel engages her as a live-in companion to his beautiful young sister, Sylvie. \u003cbr\u003eMaud is overjoyed by her good fortune. With a clean room, hot meals, and an umbrella to keep her dry, she is able to hold her head high as she strolls the streets of Montmartre. No longer hostage to poverty and hunger, Maud can at last devote herself to her art. \u003cbr\u003eBut all is not as it seems. Christian and Sylvie, Maud soon discovers, are not quite the darlings they pretend to be. Sylvie has a secret addiction to opium and Christian has an ominous air of intrigue. As this dark and powerful tale progresses, Maud is drawn further into the Morels' world of elegant deception. Their secrets become hers, and soon she is caught in a scheme of betrayal and revenge that will plunge her into the darkness that waits beneath this glittering city of light.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Imogen Robertson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1427265844\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781427265845\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e MacMillan Audio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/10\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e CD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.90h x 5.10w x 1.10d","brand":"Imogen Robertson","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":48518398214399,"sku":"9781427265845","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fad51828-2595-47ab-8b13-4b6ffd3dee43.jpg?v=1778734371","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-paris-winter-imogen-robertson-9781427265845","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
