Klappentext

The true story of one of impressionist artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir's most famous paintings, and an astonishing exploration of the rise and fall of a prominent French Jewish family from the Belle epoque to World War II.

With an extraordinary cast of characters, from the girls themselves, their mother's lovers, a heroic British General; from the King of Spain to Dreyfus, Proust, and Maupassant---this is a story about one of the world's most famous pictures, The Pink and the Blue. But really it is a story about Paris---one that prefers to be hidden. With access to never-before-seen letters, diaries, and personal recollections---it is a tale of privilege, beauty, and betrayal almost lost in the shimmering memory of a vanished world.
