Description
A Paris Apartment: A Novel by Michelle Gable is a captivating tale that delves into the fascinating true story behind a long-abandoned Parisian apartment. In 2015, Sotheby's continental furniture specialist April Vogt was left speechless when she discovered a treasure trove of art and documents hidden beneath cobwebs in the ninth arrondissement. Among the treasures found were a portrait by renowned artist Giovanni Boldini and letters and journals written by the woman depicted in the painting. As April delved deeper into the story, she uncovered a complex and intriguing narrative that revealed her subject was more than just a courtesan with enviable decolletage. This beautifully crafted novel is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in art, history, and the stories behind the masterpieces we cherish. With its unique blend of fact and fiction, A Paris Apartment: A Novel offers a captivating glimpse into the life of Marthe de Florian, a charismatic woman whose story has been hidden for decades.
