Book Overview
Eve dared. . . Eve, with passion that overruled her total innocence, ran away from home to live in unrepentant sin; won stardom singing on the stage of the Parisian music halls before Worlds War I; married into the world of international diplomacy; and become the greatest lady Champagne. Eve's younger daughter, Freddy, inherited all of her mother's recklessness. Growing up in California, she became a pilot by sixteen; throughout World War II she ferried war planes in Britain--a glorious redhead who captured men with one humorous, challenging glance. Eve's elder daughter, Delphine, exquisite, gifted, and wild, romped through the nightlife of Hollywood of the thirties. On a whim, she made a screen test in Paris and soon found herself a great star of French films. She chose to risk her life in occupied France because of a love that transformed her frivolity into courage.

Great!

I love everything about this book. You've got romance, adventure, mystery, and Europe! What's not to like? I love the time period, taking us through two world wars and classic love stories.
Slow starter but worth sticking to it
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
As she approaches her 60th birthday, Vicomptesse Eve de Lancel remembers her years as a madcap music hall singer before her marriage into the Lancel champagne family. Her daughters, beautiful Delphine and the irrepressible Freddy, live adventurous and sometimes scandalous lives. Delphine is a seductive actress and Freddy a flamboyant aviatrix. While Delphine struggles through the German occupation of WWII Paris, Freddy plies the skies of Britain, delivering Spitfires to RAF squadrons. Brother Bruno plots his way to a fortune. This one's a slow starter but if you're a Krantz fan you won't be disappointed in the last 2/3rds of the book. The characters are unpredictable and once it gets going, readers become more and more involved in the story. It's an entertaining way to spend an afternoon.
Krantz's best
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I am admittedly not a great fan of Judith Krantz's upperclass, usually eccentric and oversexed protagonists, but this novel about three women (the mother and two daughters) who, in their private way, become heroines of the World Wars, truly impressed me. Krantz weaves a very tight atmosphere around her settings, giving even the most unlikely situations cerrdibility (like one scene where a freight plane plays 'dare' with a Messerschmitt propelled fighter-and wins!)This and other slightly unhistorical accounts are what made me subtract a star from the rating, but as far as reading pleasure goes, I could not put this book down. I started it at around ten p.m., and was still at it by five in the morning, so well had the characters and the storylines caught me.I recommend reading this book, so long as you're not looking for a lesson in European history, but for a story and protagonists that you can feel for.
Wonderful!!!

It was action packed. A wonderful saga with a bit of romance. The characters came alive, especially Mac!!
Like a three-hanky B & W '40s melodrama movie
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
This one is a bit different from the other Krantz novels because it is all set in the past (the 1910s to the 40s). There are three heroines - Eve, and her two daughters, Delphine and Frederique. They are French - Ms.Krantz seems to be obsessed with a certain romantic view of the French. Most of it is set in France, with some parts in wartime England and pre-and post-war California. It will remind you of those great melodramatic weepers they used to make in the '30s and '40s starring people like Vivien Leigh and Greer Garson.
