“Some women are born knowing how the world works…”
Near the end of WWII, seventeen-year-old Mireille de Jourres flees the home of her abusive Nazi-Collaborating, alcoholic step-father, after he attempts to rape her, and she kills him. While on the run, she catches up with childhood friend, Stefan, who is a French freedom fighter. One night Stefan does not return home and Mireille discovers she’s pregnant with his baby. She makes her way to Paris where she becomes L’Ange – The Angel.
She meets a wealthy man who turns her into the most famous prostitute in all of Paris. She attends the fanciest parties and events and at one point meets Hollywood producer, Oliver Jordan. Soon she’s on a plane to America and an acting career.
Fans of Jackie Collins and Sydney Sheldon will love the drama of MIREILLE. Danielle Steele Fans will go crazy, to the way it travels all over the world. But be warned, it’s nearly 600-pages long. Perfect for a few days on the beach or by the pool sipping, whatever it is you sip! 🙂
