New trilogy by Catrin Pancol—about wonderful women who dance their life dance in New York and Paris, London and Saint-Shalane. Men? They are here too. But the show is ruled by women: passionate, inventive, loving—they fight for their fate and refuse to give up.
Hortense Cortes longs for fame; she has boldness, style, energy, and, in addition, an unusually merciless streak. In short, she is perfection. Hortense dreams of opening her own fashion house and searches for an idea for her first collection. But everyone around her distracts her: her younger sister and mother keep complaining about their personal troubles, while her lover, the pianist Gary, doesn’t want to indulge her whims and is far too absorbed in rehearsing a duet with a frightfully unattractive violinist, Calypso.
It turns out that it’s not so simple to live the way you want…
