'When the celbrated actor Nandou first sees Jeanne Sorel on the Paris streets, his heart is pierced by her innocent beauty, glowing like a pearl amid the squalor of her surroundings. Unable to bear the prospect of abandoning her to a life of grinding poverty, he takes her to live with him and teaches her about his beloved theatre, about literature, and about life in the bohemian world on nineteenth-century Paris. Although he loves her, Nandou knows that Jeanne can never be his, and he watches jealously as Jeanne and Louis, the radical son of the wealthy Vollard family, become lovers. When Jeanne is left pregnant with Louis's child, too ashamed to ask for help, she struggles on alone until Nandou comes to her aid. Then her daughter is kidnapped and Jeanne swears revenge on her former lover, but it is some years before she fulfils her vow.' 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Quantity Available: 1.
