Mistral's Daughter - Judith Krantz

They were three generations of magnificent red-haired beauties born to scandal, bred to success, bound to a single extraordinary man--Julien Mistral, the painter, the genius, the lover whose passions had seared them all. Maggy--Flamboyant mistress of Mistral s youth, the toast of Paris in the 20s. Her luminous flesh was immortalized in the paintings that made Mistral legendary. Teddy--Maggy s daughter, the incomparable cover girl who lived fast and left as her legacy Mistral s dazzling love child. Fauve--Mistral s daughter, the headstrong, fearless glory girl whose one dark secret drove her to rule the world of high fashion and to risk everything in a feverish search for love. From the 20s Paris of Chanel, Colette, Picasso and Matisse to New York s sizzling new modeling agencies of the 50s, to the model ward of the 70s, Mistral s Daughter captures the explosive glamour of life at the top of the worlds of art and high fashion. Judith Krantz has given us a glittering international tale as spellbinding as her other celebrated best-sellers, Scruples, Princess Daisy, I ll Take Manhattan, Till We Meet Again, Scruple s Two, Dazzle, and Lovers.
