A Paris Apartment: April Vogt, Sorheby’s continental furniture specialist, is speechless when a Paris apartment shuttered for 70 years is discovered. Beneath the cobwebs and stale perfumed air is a gold mine, and not because of the actual gold. There are letters and journals, written by the very woman in a famous painting. These documents revealed that she was more than a renowned courtesan. Suddenly April’s quest is no longer about the bureaux plats and Louis-style armchairs that will fetch millions at auction. It’s about discovering the story behind this charismatic woman. I’ll see you in Paris: Gladys Spencer-Churchill, the Duchess of Marlborough, was a woman whose life was so rich in story it could fill several books. Nearly a century after Gladys‘s heyday, a young woman’s quest to understand the legendary Duchess takes her from a charming Hamlet in the English countryside, to a dilapidated manse kept behind barbed wire, and ultimately to Paris, where answers will be found at last. In the end, she not only solves the riddle of the Duchess, but also uncovers the missing pieces in her own life.
