Once in France, April quickly learns the apartment is not merely
some rich hoarder's repository. Beneath the cobwebs and stale
perfumed air is a goldmine, and not because of the actual gold (or
painted ostrich eggs or mounted rhinoceros horns or bronze
bathtub). First, there's a portrait by one of the masters of the
Belle Epoque, Giovanni Boldini. And then there are letters and
journals written by the very woman in the painting, Marthe de
Florian. These documents reveal that she was more than a renowned
courtesan with enviable decolletage. Suddenly April's quest is no
longer about the bureaux plats and Louis-style armchairs that will
fetch millions at auction. It's about discovering the story behind
this charismatic woman. With the help of salty (and annoyingly
sexy) Parisian solicitor and the courtesan's private diaries, April
tries to uncover the many secrets buried the apartment. As she digs
into Marthe's life, April can't help but takes a deeper look into
her own. Based on real events, Michelle Gable's A Paris Apartment
will entertain and inspire, as readers embrace the struggles and
successes of two very unforgettable women.
