Shura Paris

In the third novel of the historical cycle about Kurt Seitz and Shura Verzhenskaya, a Turkish writer immerses the reader in the decadent, émigré life of 1920s Paris. The heroine enters the service of the fashionable house of Felix Yusupov and Grand Duchess Irina Romanova. A beautiful model plunges into high society with all its brilliance—and poverty. Among her friends are Russian, French, and American celebrities—from the celebrated Gertrude Stein living in luxury to Gayto Gazdanov, who sleeps under a bridge and is still unknown. Will the heroine be able to pull her mother and sister out of Bolshevik Russia? Will she forget Kurt Seitz and finally find true love?
