Description
Christian Dior's most famous perfume was inspired by his younger sister Catherine, who played a pivotal role in shaping his vision of femininity. This book tells the story of their relationship and Catherine's experiences during World War II, including her time in the French Resistance and her eventual capture by the Gestapo. Justine Picardie's narrative weaves together the hidden histories of the Dior siblings and explores the power of beauty and hope in the face of darkness and despair.
