Pamela Binnings Ewen’s newest novel reveals the story of Émilienne, once the most beautiful, sought-after woman in Paris during the Belle Epoque, the era of peaceful years just before World War I. As a girl, Émilienne fights her way through poverty in Montmartre, drawn to the lights of Paris below. Soon, she stars at the Folies Bergere, mistress of kings and princes, known as the most beautiful woman in Europe.

But, happiness is elusive, and youth and beauty are fragile. And where is love? As clouds of war begin darkening Europe, Émilienne’s young friend, Coco Chanel, has other ideas of how to survive in a man’s world. Strong ideas. Now, as Émilienne fights to survive, Coco’s star rises.

“Émilienne? The grand cocotte! I liked her. She was the best girl in the world.”
Gabrielle (Coco) Chanel)

“Ewen creates an accurate and gorgeous picture of Belle Epoque Paris…readers who enjoy lively renderings of the past, combined with a well-paced plot and true historical characters will thoroughly enjoy Émilienne.
Historical Novel Society

“A well-researched, fascinating, albeit tragic saga, with a great feel for time and place.”
Library Journal

“[Émilenne]…was one of my favorite books of the year. If Moulon Rouge and Memories of a Geisha had a love child, it might be Émilienne.”
