Description
Parisian Days
Banine's life is transformed when she flees her homeland and forced marriage for a new future in Paris. She cuts her hair, adopts a carefree lifestyle, and becomes embroiled in the city's vibrant bohemian scene.
As she navigates this exciting but uncertain world, Banine faces unexpected challenges. Her family's financial situation deteriorates, forcing her to take on a new role as a fashion model. A past acquaintance from her homeland reappears, adding to her growing sense of unease.
This memoir is a vivid portrayal of youthful dreams and the search for happiness in the face of uncertainty. With wit and candour, Banine recounts her experiences in 1920s Paris, where freedom and excess were just beginning to take hold.
