Banners Of Silk by Rosalind Laker
Louise Vemet was raised in the slums of Paris and came of age amid the splendor and corruption of the Second Empire. She rose to prominence in fashion, clothing fabled women of title and pleasure in a society where even sin needed style. She had a lover she could not wed and gave their child a name by entering a passionless marriage. Her life spans Paris under Louis Napoleon and Victorian England, moving from despair to joy.
