Paris Kiss

Maggie Ritchie

Bohemian Paris in the 1880s. Exotic, strange and exciting ... especially to young English scupltress Jessie Lipscomb, who joins her friend Camille to become a protege of the great Auguste Rodin. Jessie and Camille enjoy a passionate friendship and explore the demi-monde of the vibrant city, meeting artists such as Toulouse-Lautrec and the boldly unconventional Rosa Bonheur. But when Rodin and Camille embark on a scandalous affair, Jessie is cast as their unwilling go-between and their friendship unravels. Years later she tracks her down to an insane asylum where Camille tells her an explosive secret ... can their friendship survive the betrayal? --
